“HE GOT SCREWED!!!”

That’s Rob Gronkowski weighing in on his former head coach, Bill Belichick, missing out on first-ballot Hall of Famer honors.

We caught up with the former Patriots superstar outside of NBC in New York City this week … and asked how he felt about the the biggest football story of the week.

His reaction was exactly what you’d expect.

Of course, there are plenty of former and current NFL stars who agree … including Patrick Mahomes, who said, “Insane… don’t even understand how this could be possible.”

Former NFL coach Bruce Arians also chimed in … telling us it was “terrible” that Belichick didn’t make it on the first try — suggesting jealousy played a role in the decision.

“If you voted against it, you need to come [out] public,” Arians said.

“I think everyone thought it was a given that Bill would just go straight in, so it’s a shame.”
