Rob Gronkowski Says Andy Reid Can’t Be First-Ballot HoFer as Bill Belichick Wasn’t

Gronkowski said Andy Reid shouldn’t be considered a first-ballot Hall of Famer because Bill Belichick wasn’t, reacting to Belichick’s surprising 2026 Hall of Fame snub. “No other coach should go first ballot,” Gronk said, arguing the committee’s decision sets the wrong precedent. Gronk’s also criticized the HoF committee for ignoring Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
