Local Farm Creates Incredibly Beautiful ‘Thanks, Gronk’ Corn Maze, TE Reacts

Retired tight end Rob Gronkowski made a few great headlines this summer, and the Patriots nation is more than gratefull for everything he has done for the team. West End Creamery in Whitinsville, Mass., came up with an incredible idea. The local farm had the perfect surprise for the retired tight end.

Starting Sept. 21, visitors will say “Thank You” in a really interesting way. People at the farm create the most hilarious corn maze designs, and this time they celebrate Gronk’s legacy.

“West End Creamery is proud to announce our 2019 maize design which celebrates the astounding football career of Rob Gronkowski. What an a-maize-ing person you are on and off the field, Gronk, and it’s been so fun to watch you play! Together with Pats fans everywhere, we are sad to see you retire, and wish you all the best!  We will miss you this season! Open Fridays and weekends starting on September 21!”

Gronk had to retire. He couldn’t handle the pain, and it nearly killed his love for the game.

“The icing on the cake was definitely the hit in the Super Bowl,” Gronkowski told Michael Strahan. “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.”

Being a football player means accepting great challenges. Gronk is grateful for everything the Patriots organization did for him.

“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.”
