Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has joined FOX Sports as an NFL analyst, the broadcaster announced on Tuesday.
Gronkowski in March retired following nine seasons in the league, all spent with New England, despite only turning 30 last May.
A second-round selection of the Patriots in 2010, he finished his career with five Pro Bowl selections, four first-team All-Pro honours and three Super Bowl victories.
Gronkowski will make his first appearance in his new role on Thursday, when his former team the Patriots host the New York Giants in Week 6.
"I'm extremely excited to be joining FOX Sports," Gronkowski said.
