Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said he sympathizes with former Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who unexpectedly announced his retirement from the NFL on Saturday night.
"I feel for him," Gronkowski said Tuesday during a press conference. "I was in tears in my bed after a Super Bowl victory."
Gronkowski, 30, was seen limping off the field during the second quarter of Super Bowl LIII in February after getting hit high and low by Rams' Cory Littleton. New England's athletic trainer appeared to be working on Gronkowski’s right thigh for a few seconds but the tight end returned to the field and did not receive any additional medical attention after the collision.
