Rob Gronkowski is retiring from the NFL for a second time. The 33-year-old tight end shared the news via social media on June 21. Gronk reflected on how it was his lifelong dream to play professional football for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And, as he pointed out, Gronk did just that for the past two NFL seasons after coming out of retirement in April 2020 following a long career with the New England Patriots.
“I want to thank the whole entire first class Buccaneers organization for an amazing ride, trusting me to come back to play and help build a championship team,” Gronk said in his post. “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.”
