Long live the Gronk Spike

Rob Gronkowski is retiring (again), but we’ll never forget his iconic touchdown celebration

You know you’re an NFL legend when your touchdown celebration becomes one of the most iconic ones in league history.

Such is the case for Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski, who emerged from his one-year retirement in 2020 to reunite with Tom Brady, the quarterback he spent nine seasons with in New England.

Gronk and Brady won another Super Bowl in their first season with the Bucs, and helped lead Tampa Bay to the best two-year stretch in franchise history.

Now, Gronkowski is once again riding off into the gridiron sunset, announcing his retirement (again) Tuesday afternoon.

As he exits the game for a second time, check out some of his best “Gronk Spike” moments from his two-year run in Tampa Bay:
