Rob Gronkowski jokes about Tom Brady's Hall of Fame candidacy after Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft miss out

New England Patriots Robert Kraft jokes with Fox News Digital that Tom Brady will be a "fourth-ballot" Hall of Famer after the team's latest Canton snubs.

SAN FRANCISCO – Just days after it was reported that Bill Belichick was not voted into the Hall of Fame, it was revealed that another pillar of the New England Patriots dynasty will also miss out.

Owner Robert Kraft has reportedly not received enough votes to be inducted into Canton, despite six Super Bowl titles and, including this year, 11 appearances.

When asked by Fox News Digital on radio row in San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl LX if anyone from the Patriots dynasty days will get in, Rob Gronkowski, who won three with New England, joked, "I don't think so."

"I think Tom Brady now is going to be a fourth-ballot Hall of Famer," he continued.

"RKK, I mean, how has he not been in yet? I mean, this is his 10th Super Bowl (it is his 11th). He's in the Super Bowl again this year. He was in Super Bowls before even the Belichick-Brady era. I mean, guy's the best owner in the league."

Gronkowski also praised Kraft's ability to grow the game off the field, as well.

"Not just his resume with the New England Patriots, but his resume for the game of football as well, just dealing with the TV rights contracts, with the NFL and NFLPA and with all the owners. This guy has a voice for the NFL. He has helped expand the game.
