Watch: Rob Gronkowski’s Mom Emotionally Opens Up About Patriots TE

We have been reading a lot about Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, and this time his mom opened up about her son and his role in the Super Bowl.

Mom Diane wants Gronk to follow Tom Brady’s footsteps.

“The thing that I want Rob to learn from Tom Brady is ‘Hi mom,'” Diane Gronkowski said. “It’s been nine years. After every interview at the end of the game, Tom Brady says, ‘Hi Mom!’ Every once in awhile I see Rob up there interviewing and I’m like, ‘OK, he’s going to say, ‘Hi Mom,’ and then they’re like, ‘OK, thanks Rob,’ and he’s like, ‘OK, thanks,’ and he walks away.

“I’m like, ‘Where’s the ‘Hi Mom’?’”

Diane talked about her kids and their future in the world of sports.

“It was a lot of work, and it was no sleep,” she said. “Because you’re so exhausted, it’s just a blur. Sometimes you forget if you even … ‘Did I take a shower this morning?’ Like you really had to think about it because everything was so fast.”

Mom Diane is proud of Gronk

Gronk is Diane’s most successful son. He is definitely the best tight end in the entire NFL history.

“I remember the first time I was at Gillette Stadium. Rob was just starting out there with the Patriots,” she said. “This girl down in front of me had a jersey on that said Gronkowski on the back of it and I thought ‘Why is she wearing my son’s jersey?’ Well, now you look and there are just millions of them.” 

Gronk’s retirement is the hottest topic these days. But, Diane did not say a thing about it. “You’ll probably know before me,” she said.
