The running back and defensive tackle depth charts are noticeably absent.

TE Rob Gronkowski was on site and made a surprise appearance at a press conference held by White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

Gronkowski asks Spicer, “Need some help?”, which drew laughter from the crowd.

Special teams standout Brandon King posted a video from the White House, too.

We will update this post with more media when available.
