The buzz surrounding quarterback Mark Gronowski has steadily grown since his performance at the East-West Shrine Bowl.

Gronowski was slinging it all over the field at practices before the game, and ended up winning the offensive MVP after the West held on to win 21-17.

The veteran signal caller had a solid end to his college career, and he has definitely gained the attention of multiple NFL organizations.

Mark Gronowski has been racking up the visits with different NFL organizations

Gronowski finished his collegiate career with 12,049 total passing yards and 103 passing touchdowns, and also added 2,312 rushing yards and 53 rushing touchdowns.

He was an extremely productive college quarterback, but he is still projected to go undrafted during the 2026 NFL Draft. Even with that projection, multiple NFL organizations have reportedly flown him in for interviews.

According to Tanner Castora, Gronowski has been flown in to meet the general managers of the Jets, Commanders, and the Dolphins, all teams in search of help at the quarterback position.

Castora also said he believes that with all of the interest Gronowski is generating, there is "little doubt" that he will get a chance in the NFL.

Gronowski has shown the ability to win by doing whatever the team needs, which was fully showcased last season with the Hawkeyes.

Iowa's passing attack was putrid at best, but Gronowski pushed the team across the finish line with some timely completions and a heavy reliance on his legs in the rushing attack.

Gronowski's dual-threat ability is his biggest asset, and if he can find the right organization to allow him to access that part of his game, he has the potential to be a solid addition for whoever signs or drafts. him.
