“This Photo Will Be on Moms Fridge”: Gronk Nation and Tom Brady Salute Retired Superstar’s Ocean Heroics

Rob Gronkowski is the self-professed ‘MVP of Fun’.  He always finds an element of fun in the most mundane things that people do. So much so, that even Dwayne Johnson had to call him a crazy guy when they hung out together. His latest activity on social media showcases his prowess in the ocean. And it won the approval of his fans and friends, including his best pal, Tom Brady. 

The legendary tight end was jokingly trying to find something that supposedly lives in the sea, a cartoon character of all things. And the fans just loved how he went about his business.

Fans and family all over the Rob Gronkowski photo 

Rob Gronkowski made a splash on Instagram, looking like an “aqua babe” in his latest post. He shared a photo of himself on a surfboard, basking in the sunshine amidst the blue waters while on a mission to find a famous cartoon character.

“Looking for SpongeBob….who lives in a pineapple under the sea,” Gronkowski wrote in the caption.

Everyone from fans and family loved Gronk’s surf look. While his friend and former teammate Tom Brady endorsed the photo with a simple like, his brothers let Gronk know their feelings through their comments. Some fans chimed in to send their compliments to the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star. Here are a few fan and family reactions.

“I feel like this photo will be on moms fridge by the next time I visit,” Gronk’s brother and former NFL fullback Chris Gronkowski wrote.

“You tryna play mermaids bro,” his brother Gordie Gronkowski said.

“Your personality in a photo,” Camille Kostek summarized in a comment.

“I want to put this on my refrigerator,” a fan wrote.

“How cheeky of you,” another fan said in the comments.

“Double cheeked up on a Tuesday mornin,” a fan said.

Everybody in the NFL universe knows that fun is the fuel that drives Gronkowski in his life. He is the life of the party wherever he goes. It’s not the fans who say it, it was the four-time Super Bowl champion who admitted it.

The life of a party

Rob Gronkowski likes to party so much that he believes it made him a better player on the field. He admitted it to Jimmy Fallon earlier this year that he is a big party animal. Crediting his native Buffalo for the way he parties, he said that having fun with friends actually helped his game. True to his self-professed nature, he is there to liven up every party.

When Tom Brady decided to throw an unofficial retirement party earlier this month, Gronkowski was the first person he remembered. In fact, Gronk got his invitation in the announcement tweet itself.

The NFL legend is living his life on his rules after hanging his cleats. Rule number one for him is to always have fun. Fans love to see him in that avatar and the ‘Gronk’ never disappoints.
