The NFL world reacts to Rob Gronkowski’s second retirement

The NFL world is reacting accordingly to Rob Gronkowski’s second retirement.

After two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneersfuture Pro Football Hall of Famer tight end Rob Gronkowski hang up the spikes for good this time.

Gronkowski was already destined for Canton due to his illustrious career at Canton New England Patriots. Gronkowski played alongside Tom Brady and won four Super Bowl. While it’s debatable if he’s the best tight end alive, one thing’s for sure: no one has enjoyed playing football more than Gronk. He really is one of a kind and good luck to him in retirement again.

Jordan Schultz broke the news of Gronkowski calling it a career via Twitter for the second time.

Here’s the tweet Gronkowski shared from his Instagram message that it’s over NFL for him.

Even though he first made his mark by catching touchdown passes from The GOAT for the Evil Empire, Gronkowski was one of those rare players that everyone loved.

Being one of the greatest all-around tight ends of all time certainly took its toll on his body. Outside of the 2019 NFL season, when he wasn’t on a team, Gronkowski played the football game with a childlike enthusiasm that everyone was naturally drawn to.

It remains to be seen if this is indeed the last time he will play in the NFL, as even his own agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has hinted his client could return to Tampa Bay later this year, Gronkowski has a lifetime of support opportunities and other business ventures before him.

Ultimately, we can all learn a lesson or two from Gronk. Throughout his illustrious career, he has been the epitome of hard work and hard play. Though he may have exuded tremendous party boy vibes in his early Patriots days, Gronkowski won’t become the mythical character he is today without a relentless work ethic and the discipline to go from an Arizona afterthought to an all-time great will.

Congratulations on your bloody career, Gronk, and may you be on time for happy hour this Tuesday!
