Rob Gronkowski had some fun with a reporter on Twitter Thursday over a bad prediction about him.

On Sunday, the Twitter account “Freezing Cold Takes,” tweeted a screenshot of a 2010 draft prediction about the tight end. Patriots reporter Greg Bedard said he didn’t at all understand the hype over Gronk, who at the time was a tight end at Arizona.

Those running Gronk’s Twitter page saw the tweet and had some fun with it. They reminded Bedard of the poor prediction.

The Patriots ended up taking Gronk in the second round that year with the No. 42 overall pick. He went on to play nine seasons for New England, making five Pro Bowls and winning three Super Bowls. 92 touchdown catches later, Gronk has proved himself to be one of the best tight ends in history.

Bedard whiffed on that one.
