Ex-Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, internationally famous for being a big kid at heart, must really be enjoying this NFL offseason. Now over four months deep into his presumed retirement, the 30-year-old continues to mess with the minds of his adoring fans – particularly those based in the New England region of the country.
One minute he’s swearing all the talk of a comeback should be put officially to rest. The next minute, he’s catching passes from old teammate and close friend Tom Brady on campus at UCLA. Some reports claim there’s no way he ever returns to the NFL, not considering how close he came to sustaining permanent injury with a bulging disc in his back.
