Retired for good? Here’s what Rob Gronkowski has been saying about possibly returning to football.

Rob Gronkowski has had a busy week on the media circuit, and reporters wouldn’t be doing their jobs if they didn’t ask the 29-year-old about a possible return to the NFL.

The interviews began last Tuesday when Gronkowski held a press conference announcing his partnership with CBDmedic, a cannabidol company. There, Gronk talked about his future in the NFL, and what it would take to come back.

“I’m just in the first stage right now,” Gronkowski said. “When that time comes down in the future, if I have the desire to play football again, if I feel passionate about football again, if I’m feeling I need to be out there on the field, I will go back to football.
