Rob Gronkowski should be back on the football field next season, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
“I have not talked to one person who believes Rob Gronkowski will retire,” Rapoport reported on NFL Network Wednesday afternoon. “The expectation is he’s back in a Patriots uniform in 2018.”
According to Rapoport, Gronkowski “took several weeks off to kind of let loose and put football in the back of his mind.” Rapoport also corroborated the multiple reports stating that the tight end was pondering retirement and considering pursuing a career in the WWE or Hollywood.
