FOXBOROUGH — Rob Gronkowski largely danced around questions about his potential retirement at a Supercross news conference at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, though he might have inadvertently provided a glimpse into his future plans.
When a reporter asked what the Patriots tight end has to say to fans who are curious about his future, Gronkowski offered a quip with some possible truth behind it.
“They’re going to see a freek-a-leek when I come back,’’ Gronkowski said. “That’s what.’’
“So you are coming back?’’
“Uhh, maybe.’’
Gronkowski, sporting a red and gray Monster suit prior to his Supercross debut, also said he doesn’t plan on attending the Patriots’ upcoming optional workouts while he continues to sharpen his dirt biking skills.
