At this year’s Super Bowl, Rob Gronkowski is making appearances and discussing the end of his career candidly.
Rob Gronkowski finished his career with the Patriots with a Super Bowl Championship a season ago. At this year’s Super Bowl, the retired tight end is making appearances and discussing the end of his career candidly.
The now-30-year-old detailed how the wear-and-tear of the NFL on his body resulted in him seriously lacking enthusiasm during his final season.
“I 100 percent lost a step. I actually lost like three steps some games,” Gronk said, as transcribed by WEEI Radio in Boston. “I didn’t even want to be out there on the field. I was like, ‘Yo, I feel like a complete ass. Coach put Dwayne (Allen) in, I don’t even care.’ I was at that point.”
Gronkowski finished the 2018 season with 47 receptions for 682 yards and three touchdowns. Although he toyed with the idea of coming out of retirement following his announcement, he instead joined Fox as an analyst and seems to be continuing to enjoy life off the field.
