Rob Gronkowski Teases Return During ‘GMA’ Appearance…’I May Be Back’

Retired Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski insists that he may come back. Gronk confirmed his partnership with CBDMEDIC during a presentation, and also explained his reasons to leave the game.

Gronk went on “Good Morning America” and talked about his potential return.

“The icing on the cake was definitely the hit in the Super Bowl,” Gronkowski told Michael Strahan Wednesday. “I had to stay in the game for sure, it’s the last game of the year, but that hit was brutal. I’ve had a couple quad contusions before and I’d miss a game or two and I was back within two weeks. So when that hit happened, you just shrug it off in your mind…but literally this one was for real.”

The three-time Super Bowl champ says constant injuries destroyed his joy. He will never lose his respect for the game.

“I understand what I signed up for…football, to me, has made me a stronger person 100 percent and I’m so thankful for it,” Gronkowski added. “I played in one of the greatest organizations in all of sports, and I’m so thankful for that opportunity and I’ve played with the greatest players of all time, the greatest coach of all time, one of the greatest owners of all time… it can help me go to the next chapter of my life — taking things from there, seeing what I learned from guys like that.”

“It’s made me so much more stronger. It’s brought me to this point now and I found ways to recover from everything too — finding the right treatments, techniques on how to heal, finding different workouts and it’s going to lead me to my next path in life.”

The tight end couldn’t tell his teammates that he plans to retire.

“I didn’t even have that passion that energy to call up everyone because I just needed to get it out of the way, so I just did it,” he said. “I was over it. I didn’t even want to negotiate at all with anyone.

“[N]ow that I have talked to teammates since, they’re all 100 percent supportive. They all know what the game is like and to walk away on my own terms is just a great way to leave.”

The most brilliant part of his interview was when he said that he “may be back.”
