YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Pro football player Rob Gronkowski is retiring again, he says, for good this time to fulfill a late friend's dying wish. Gronk, as he is known to fans, signed a one-day contract with the New England Patriots so he can retire with the franchise where he won three Super Bowls and became one of the team's all-time leading receivers. The star tight end originally retired in 2019, only to return to win another Super Bowl with his longtime quarterback Tom Brady and a new team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gronkowski is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2027.
