Ex-Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski says that comeback rumors should be ‘put to rest’

Ever since New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski decided to retire from the NFL in late March, rumors and speculation about a possible return at one point during the 2019 season have made the rounds. These rumors didn’t make any sense to begin with, as our very own Matthew Rewinski pointed out last month, but they nevertheless kept floating around — despite Gronkowski denying them whenever he got the chance.

One such chance came on Sunday morning, when the 30-year-old appeared at the One Mission Buzz Off for Kids charity event at Gillette Stadium.
