‘I’d never seen you with such pure joy on the field’: Rob Gronkowski made Bill Belichick his own ‘smile’ emoji
In a letter he wrote, Gronk dedicated an emoji to the Patriots' head coach.
Rob Gronkowski has a gift for Bill Belichick: his own emoji.
In a video posted on Twitter to @uninterrupted, the retired tight end read a letter he wrote to the Patriots head coach in which he said he was dedicating a “smile” emoji to him after the “rare moment” he had during the team’s 33-0 win against the Jets on Monday night. Belichick, who decided to use a “loophole” during the fourth quarter, smiled afterwards – a moment that went viral on social media.

Gronk’s letter recounted that moment:
“Dear Bill,” he read while drinking wine. “I watched the Jets game. Tom, Jules and the fellas look good. As you like to say, ‘It was a good team win, executed in all three phases.’ But, even bigger than the win was a rare moment in the fourth quarter. I saw it. I almost missed it. I’m sure a lot of the fans watching didn’t catch it, but I did.”
“You smiled! Through nine seasons and even three Super Bowls, I’d never seen you with such pure joy on the field.”

To celebrate the rarity, Gronk and his team made their own emoji to encompass Belichick’s blank face.
“This is such a big deal that me and my team went to the drawing board to make you something special: it’s your very own emoji,” he continued. “This one! It’s your smile to be used by all Patriots fans when we know something they don’t know. You’re welcome!”
“So let’s all enjoy the smile for a moment, but it’s a short week. Then it’s back to business. On to the next one. Miss you. Sincerely yours, Roberto.”
