Did the recruiting folks read tea leaves and foresee his back troubles? No matter, the four-star Gronkowski was a man among boys from the moment he set foot on the college field. And when he's healthy, he's the one of the top two or three TEs in the NFL. This class produced three other players who reached the NFL: LB Vuna Tuihalamaka, CB Trevin Wade and RB Nic Grigsby. On the other side of the equation, four- and three-star DT prospect Levar Brown was never able to gain NCAA eligibility with Arizona, and he ended up transferring to the University of Arkansas-Monticello.
