The Denver Broncos have acquired a Gronkowski brother.
Denver completed a trade with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, landing fullback Chris Gronkowski in exchange for reserve cornerback Cassius Vaughn.
John Elway announced the deal on Twitter and explained why his team pulled the trigger.
"Our team has a lot of depth in the secondary and this an opportunity for us to add a quality fullback to our roster." -John Elway on Twitter
Chris Gronkowski is the brother of Rob Gronkowski, the All-Pro tight end for the New England Patriots*. Chris hasn't kept defensive coordinators up at night like his brother, but he gives the Broncos depth at the position. The only other fullback on the roster is Austin Sylvester. Gronk the Lesser started seven games with the Dallas Cowboys in 2010 and appeared in seven with the Colts this past season.
