Gronk's Advice: Maye's Ball Security Key

0:00It's April 7. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Rob Gronkowski just dropped some real talk on New England Patriots quarterback Drake May heading into his third year. The legendary tight-in says the 23-year-old signal caller needs to lock down that ball security game. Last season in year 2, May balled out with 4,394 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and just 8 picks. Dragging the pats to Super Bowl 60 before they fell to the Seattle Seahawks, he even snagged runner-up for NFL MVP, but those shiny stats hide a glitch fumbles. May coughed it up 8 times in the regular season, and 7 more in the playoffs, numbers that Gronk knows, kill momentum. Gronk's straight-up advice? Protect the rock, because turnovers, tank teams, no cap. Fans and analysts are nodding, seeing how those lost balls kept the pats from closing deals despite a defense that straight dominated, especially in the postseason.

1:03Now the spotlight's on May to level up making smart reads under duress and crunch time, not just bombing deep shots. That's his evolution from Gunslinger to Field General. With Gronk calling it like he sees it, expect May to grip that Pickskin tighter as the pats chase that ring.
