Rob Gronkowski expects his “Madden NFL 17” ratings to be high. After all, the Patriots’ tight end is on the cover of the video game. He’ll likely rank high in longstanding categories like strength, catching ability, and awareness.

According to Gronk, there’s still one category that the game is missing.

“Trash talk,” Gronk told USA Today when asked what should be changed about the game. “Because there are some players out there that just nonstop trash talk. Imagine having Madden ratings out there. People would start talking more trash to get their Madden rating of trash talk up to like 99.”
