Rudolph Replacing Gronkowski
Rudolph, a two-time Pro Bowl tight end, joins Tom Brady’s dynamic offense and will help replace Rob Gronkowski’s output this upcoming season. The veteran will share time with another suitable Tight End: Cameron Brate. Brate has experience with Brady and is often overlooked in an offense with so many weapons.
Rudolph, who turns 33 in November, will be joining his third team in his NFL career. He spent his first ten years in Minnesota accumulating 453 receptions, 4,488 yards and 48 touchdowns.
Last season Rudolph played for the New York Giants where he recorded 26 receptions, 257 yards and one touchdown.

Milestone Season in Tampa Bay?
Entering the 2022 NFL Season, Rudolph is coming close to a few milestone achievements. Here are some milestones Kyle Rudolph will look to surpass this season with Tom Brady at quarterback:
- Career Touchdowns: 49 (One more to reach 50)
- Career Receiving Yards: 4.795 (205 yards to reach 5,000)
- Career Receptions: 479 (21 receptions to 500)
While the individual accomplishments seem fairly easily obtainable, Rudolph joins the Bucs with one thing in mind. Winning a Super Bowl ring.
