Rob Gronkowski is not coming back to the NFL, ever. That’s what the former star tight end told TMZ Sports in a candid interview. Gronk, who retired in June 2022, said there is “no chance” of him returning to the gridiron, even though he had done it before. He added that he was happy with his decision, especially after seeing his longtime teammate and friend Tom Brady hang up his cleats.
But don’t worry, Gronk is still having fun in retirement. He has discovered a new sport that he loves and dominates. He even bragged about beating his brother Chris Gronkowski, who is a pro bodybuilder, and he recently playfully teased his bodybuilder & former fullback brother about it.
