Life’s great for retired NFL star Rob Gronkowski as he embarks on one of his most thrilling adventures ever! This time, it’s not on the field but literally off the ground. He dropped 11,000 feet from a plane after being offered the opportunity to skydive on Veterans Day.

Following his retirement from the NFL as one of the greatest TEs, Rob Gronkowski joined as an analyst on FOX Sports. He stole the attention on Sunday’s FOX Sports “NFL Pregame Show” with his skydiving stunt, despite it being his first time. And while he executed the feat beautifully, fans can’t help but feel amused at his straightforward experience sharing on skydiving.

Gronk’s passion and excitement for skydiving were easily visible as he explained every bit of his recent skydiving experience elaborately so fans could know what happens when you’re jumping off a plane. The former Bucs TE narrated that the hardest part of skydiving was trying to jump out of the airplane. He said, “I swear my feet were stuck on the plane. I was trying to jump. I went like that three times? Like just trying to force my body out of the airplane and I just wouldn’t go.

Rob did this when he was asked if he could be the one to jump from the plane on Veterans Day during the annual Fox pregame show at the Air Force base. For the 34-year-old, it was a heaven-sent opportunity. After all, he had previously lost the chance to skydive with his friends because he was too heavy, weighing 260 lbs.

Rating the stunt as one of his best life experiences, Gronkowski celebrated the occasion with a ‘Gronk Spike’ before landing. Amazingly, he wasn’t a bit psyched out by this wildly exciting adventure given that it was his first skydiving experience.?

While Rob Gronkowski celebrates a new experience, he also has to face the disappointment of his former team’s miserable performance this season. The last 10-6 defeat in Frankfurt, Germany, against the Indianapolis Colts served as another devastating blow to the Patriots in Week 10. Patriots QB Mac Jones completed with 170 yards and an interception, leading to the team losing the game with under seven points.?

Unless a full-scale rebuild is made, the Patriots are going to suffer one of their most humiliating seasons in NFL history. Perhaps they’ll make full use of their bye week and come back stronger for the next game against the New York Giants.
