Our team has a lot of depth in the secondary and this an opportunity for us to add a quality fullback to our roster.

Gronkowski is probably better known for being the younger brother of Dan and older brother Rob Gronkowski than for what he has done on the football field up to this point. With just 52 total yards of offense in his two years in the league, Chris will look to earn his paycheck in other ways on the football field, namely pass-blocking for Peyton Manning and opening running lanes.
Vaughn has 28 tackles and an interception in 22 career games played in his two years in the league.
