New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was named Comeback Player of the Year on Saturday night.
Gronkowski missed the first month and a half in 2013 with arm and back issues, before eventually tearing his ACL in December.
After playing in only seven games last season, Gronkowski stormed back in 2014. The versatile tight end had 12 touchdowns and more than 1,100 yards.
If there was any question that Gronkowski was 100 percent healthy, one look at him running over would-be tacklers this year would have removed all doubts.
Gronkowski is a major reason that the Patriots will be playing in yet another Super Bowl on Sunday.
