Note: This result of the 2010 season is hypothetical of the author based on the playing of players in the history of the Podcast of Gronkowski.
There are thousands of alternative universes in the field of NFL and the legend of Patriots Rob Gronkowski has opened the portal to one in recent narration.
The quadruple Super Bowl champion shared another scenario of the 2010 NFL draft on his Podcast “DUDES ON DUDES” With the former teammate of Patriots Julian Edelman. Gronkowski shared that he had almost went to the Baltimore Ravens and looking for a tight end, the Patriots would have exchanged with the star of the Bears de Chicago, Greg Olsen.
Baltimore would have had two chances of taking Gronkowski, but in this new hypothetical scenario, we will stay with the Ravens taking Gronkowski in the first round with the overall choice n ° 25, which means that Josh McDaniels and the broncos of Denver are never negotiated against the quarter-back Tim Tebow. This puts the patriots with Olsen and Alge Crumper at a tight end for the Patriots while the Ravens no longer take Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta.

So, how this 2010 season, where the patriots of real history went 14-2 with Gronkowski as a seeded n ° 1 of the AFC, take place with our current group? Frimons it in a hypothetical.
Jump into the time machine!
The patriots still win AFC East to beat the excellent defense of the New York Jets from Rex Ryan. The Ravens take a step with Gronkowski emerging the best passer of Joe Flacco passes in combination with another talented defense. This change reports to Baltimore the seed n ° 1 in the AFC.
In the NFC, no Olsen harms the Chicago offensive with all the pressure on the ball carrier Matt Forte. Green Bay Packers rather win the NFC North and place Chicago at a joker point. Here is how the support for the playoffs is formed.

Let’s go back. The following week, New England does not cover the recruit while Baltimore won the AFC title at home to go to the Super Bowl.
(As for New England, the Patriots come together in 2011. They won a revenge match against the Ravens and qualify towards the Super Bowl XLVI. With an Olsen in good health rather than a wounded Gronkowski (as it is actually in February 2012), they take revenge on the Giants of New York).
But let’s go back to the 2010 season. How does it end? Battle of birds in the Super Bowl XLV!

Falcons-20
Gronkowski marks the touch of green light in the fourth quarter. Ed Reed intercepts the quarter of the Falcons Matt Ryan in the last seconds. Baltimore obtains another championship.
As for what the next decade has held for the Patriots and Gronkowski on their own path?
It is too much to plan in a single session.
