Can't blame him cause he has lots of other opportunities available to him. Pro wrestling, acting or announcing

Nooooooooooooo. Say it ain't so.

He is a Patriot through and through.

I know we've had this discussion on this board many times but if I could choose any tight end in the history of the game to start a team it would be Gronk hands down even if you told me that his career would be spotted with injury as it has been.

He is a beast both as a route runner, receiver, and blocker. And he wears clutch just like he wears his helmet.

We love ya Gronk and will sorely miss you.

PS I wouldn't be totally surprised to see the Pats do something they never do - trade UP for Hockenson.

Wrestlemania is just around the corner and Gronk is good friends with Mojo Rawley

I have respect for any man that makes it to NFL for even a single game it's not relatively easy to play like baseball, sure it's a skill game but they aren't necessarily trying to kill you on the baseball diamond.
Some have said NFL=not for long.

Just off the top of my head I'll give you two guys that managed to play in the NFL for a spell and went on to fairly successful acting careers.

Terry Crews 32 games . He's much better as an actor and has been in numerous roles, maybe best known as Julius from everybody hates Chris.

Another guy is Alan Autry, best known for his portrayal of Bubba in the heat of the night.he played 26 games for the Packers (as Carlos Brown) ,in the mid 70's and CFL also more acting credits as well. He was also a 2 term mayor of Fresno, pretty impressive to do those 3 things.
Playing in the NFL for a long time like Gronk did is remarkable especially for a non- quarterback or a kicker.

Surprised he retired on instagram. Gronk is above that. That's more for guys who can't find a team or the $ isn't right to comeback in June or July.

Usually the legend types do a press conference, have the owner/media ballwash them.

Based on this retirement, I think there is a chance he comes back for the stretch run if his body and the money makes sense.

Probably goes down as a top 10 all time tight end. Had a shot to be #1 if he would have stayed healthy

Had him on my fantasy team the year he broke out. What a blast that was. I remember people were drafting Aaron Hernandez before Gronk that season
