New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski warms up before an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins, Sunday, Nov. 26, 2017, in Foxborough, Mass.

There's no doubt that Rob Gronkowski is one of the most talented players in the NFL, let alone at the tight end position.

Gronkowski's 6-foot-6, 265-pound frame makes him arguably the most difficult player to defend in pass coverage, and it also provides Tom Brady a lethal target down field.   

Now in his seventh season in the NFL, the former Arizona Wildcat set a new franchise record against the Dolphins Sunday for the most multi-touchdown games (16) with the Patriots.

With just under six minutes remaining in the first quarter, New England was set up on second and 13 from the 15-yard line and that's when Gronkowski caught his second touchdown of the game, surpassing Randy Moss as the career multi-touchdown game leader. 

Per NFL Research, Gronkowski also leads the NFL in receiving touchdowns (74) since 2010 despite missing 25 games in that seven-year span. 

Gronkowski finished Sunday with five catches for 82 yards and two touchdowns. The ex-Cat currently has 6,715 career receiving yards.
