Gronkowski: Football was bringing me down

Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski became emotional Tuesday morning when describing his decision to retire from the NFL in March.

"I want to be clear to my fans. I needed to recover. I was not in a good place. Football was bringing me down, and I didn't like it. I was losing that joy in life," Gronkowski said, fighting back tears.

Gronkowski remarks came at an announcement in which he will be an advocate for players to be allowed to use CBD products for pain relief. He left the door open to possibly un-retire, saying, "physically, I could play right now" but added he is not there mentally.
