SAN FRANCISCO –Just days after it was reported thatBill Belichickwas not voted into the Hall of Fame, it was revealed that another pillar of the New England Patriots dynasty will also miss out.
Owner Robert Kraft has reportedlynot received enough votes to be inducted into Canton, despite six Super Bowl titles and, including this year, 11 appearances.

“I thinkTom Bradynow is going to be a fourth-ballot Hall of Famer,” he continued.
“RKK, I mean, how has he not been in yet?I mean, this is his 10th Super Bowl (it is his 11th).He’s in the Super Bowl again this year.He was in Super Bowls before even the Belichick-Brady era.I mean, guy’s thebest owner in the league.”
Gronkowski also praised Kraft’s ability to grow the game off the field, as well.
“Not just his resume with the New England Patriots, but his resume for the game of football as well, just dealing with the TV rights contracts, with the NFL and NFLPA and with all the owners.This guy has a voice for the NFL.He has helped expand the game.

“RKK, you know, with just his resume alone as well as with the New England Patriots, and what he has done as a whole for the NFL, I mean, he needs to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.He will be, but he should have already been.”

“This guy not only has a great resume, but he has also touched so many lives in the game of football in a very positive way.From players to coaches, he gave so many people opportunities and fair opportunities as well to succeed in life.And that’s what he sure has done.And it’s just unbelievable that he wasn’t selected.He’s obviously going to be a Pro Football Hall of Famer, but it was just absurd it wasn’t the first ballot.”

Belichick and Krafthave combined for 14 Lombardi Trophy victories, but it has been widely speculated that Belichick is serving a de facto punishment for Spygate and Deflategate.Perhaps Kraft is now getting the same treatment.
