Arguably one of the greatest tight ends of the NFL, Rob Gronkowski had a tremendous physical presence on the field. Hence, he got the nickname ‘Gronk’, as most people call him by that name. However, the beast has a soft side as well, which he doesn’t often show to people. However, in his latest social media post, he shared a never before seen picture with his youngest brother Glenn Gronkowski.
It is worth noting that Gronkowski has four brothers, Dan, Gordie, Chris, and Glenn. Apart from Gordie, all of his brothers played football. And recently, the youngest brother Glenn celebrated his 30th birthday. On that special occasion, Gronk shared one beautiful picture.

He also shared a video where they were riding a boat and Gronk was sleeping on his brother’s shoulder. The young brother Glenn joked about knocking him being knocked out.
Notably, Glenn is currently a free agent in the league, as he last played for the Patriots back in 2017. As for his older brother Rob, he already initially announced his retirement from the NFL in 2019 after playing for the Patriots for nine seasons. However, he came back and joined his best friend Tom Brady in the Buccaneers team in 2020 and won the Super Bowl together. After the 2021 season, he announced his second retirement and joined the Fox team as an analyst.

Safe to say, the two friends have been continuing their journey together as brothers off the field as well. As for Gronk’s real brothers, most of them run their own businesses now, and only Gronk is still involved with the NFL through his analytical skills.
