Gronk on rumors of potential return: 'You can put them to rest'

Rob Gronkowski is letting everyone know his plans. The New England Patriots star is planning on staying retired.

At the One Mission Buzz Off for Kids at Gillette Stadium, Gronkowski spoke to reporters and when asked about rumors of him coming out of retirement, he offered this response.

"Oh man! Whatever I say, it doesn't matter. It will always be crazy out there, but you can put them to rest," Gronkowski said per ESPN's Mike Reiss. "I'm feeling good. [In a] good place. It's great to be back here."

Gronkowski affirmed he would still be a part of the New England community and participate in events, but it seems that his playing days are, in fact, numbered.
