Rob Gronkowski is arguably one of the greatest tight ends the game has ever seen. With his on-field partner in crime, Brady, Gronk has gone on to conquer many games. And naturally, Gronk has contributed massively to the number of Super Bowls the duo has won together. With such unparalleled greatness, one might wonder who nurtured such a brilliant athlete. The answer, of course, is Mama Gronk. And, she told a cute story about his NFL legend son.

Close to Gronk’s 34th birthday, Mama Gronk and Gronk appeared on Kay Adams’ Show. On the show, Mama Gronk revealed a cute little anecdote that involved some humbling words for the former tight end.
