It’s been an eventful offseason for Rob Gronkowski.
The Patriots tight end went to Shark Week in the Bahamas, got a piggyback ride from Shaq at the Ultra music festival in Miami, spent his birthday in Jamaica, created his own protein bar, bought a stake in Gronk the horse, and went from Boston to Austin as part of a motocross event — all while opting out of this season’s offseason voluntary workouts and passing up a $250,000 workout bonus.
Gronkowski said he also spent time training on his own. He maintained he is still on good terms with the team and coach Bill Belichick.
