Rob Gronkowski Is Reunited With Tom Brady In Tampa Bay

Rob Gronkowski announced he was retiring from the NFL On March 29, 2019.

Why?

The 30-year-old suffered multiple injuries to his forearm, back and knee in his career and while he often made an unmatched impact on the field, there were many seasons when he was not able to play every game due to health reasons. He notoriously had to wear a large brace on his arm, making the 6-foot-6, 268-pound athlete look more like a robot than a human being. The three-time Super Bowl champion went on to discuss his bad off the field habits, including what he ate and drank and how much he was partying. The group he talks to on "The Shop" agrees that "you can't be a rockstar and a football player," the way Gronk describes he was trying to be. “according to an article by Shanna McCarriston on cbssports.com
