Rob Gronkowski is calling it a career, again. The 33-year-old tight end announced on Tuesday he's retiring from the NFL after 11 glorious seasons.The four-time Super Bowl champion took to Twitter and penned a lengthy post to make it official.
He traveled down memory lane for a bit — talking about writing a college paper centered around his dream job — before getting to the headline: «I will now be going back into my retirement home, walking away from football again with my head held high knowing I gave it everything I had, good or bad, every time I stepped out on the field.»Gronkowski, the New England Patriots' 2010 second-round draft pick out of Arizona, thanked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for being a first-class organization.
He said «the friendships and relationships I have made will last forever, and I appreciate every single one of my teammates and coaches for giving everything they had as well.»Gronkowski, who made more than $70 million in the NFL but has reportedly not touched that money while relying only on his endorsement deals, first announced his retirement back in March 2019 after nine seasons with the Patriots and three Super Bowl wins.
