BREAKING NEWSRob Gronkowski breaks silence on bombshell report he is eyeing an NFL return 

Retired NFL тιԍнт end Rob Gronkowski has finally responded to rumors of his potential comeback.

The bottom line: Don’t hold you breath.

‘Crazy bro,’ Gronkowski told Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz. ‘They must know something about me that I don’t. I wish I still had those powers, because that would be cool if I did.’

Gronkowski retired from the NFL the first time in 2019 and came out of retirement to play with Tom Brady on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. Since then, Gronkowski has been a Fox Sports analyst,

The possibility of the 35-year-old Gronkowski coming back to the NFL surfaced through DenverSports.com, which suggested he was interested in playing for the Broncos.

Earlier this month, Gronkowski covered the Super Bowl in New Orleans and did not give any indication that a third term in the NFL was on his mind.

According to the report, Gronkowski had been training in Vail, Colorado to get back into top shape for an NFL return.

Gronkowski appeared to shoot down that aspect of the report as well.

‘I was just in Australia for a few days,’ he told Schultz. ‘Now it’s time to relax a little. No football.’

Gronkowski has never played for an NFL team not quarterbacked by Brady and would be 36 for the start of the season.

A second-round pick out of Arizona in 2010, Gronkowski went on to be named to five Pro Bowls and four All-Pro First Teams during his tenure in New England, where he won his first four Super Bowls. 

During that time he accumulated 521 receptions for 7,861 yards and 79 touchdowns.

Despite battling back injuries in New England, Gronkowski was mostly healthy over two seasons in Tampa, missing only four games and registering 1,205 receiving yards to go with 13 touchdowns.

Gronkowski has also kept a high profile in popular culture when not on the gridiron. He hosted WrestleMania in 2020 from the WWE Performance Center and won the company’s inactive 24-7 Championship.
