Rob Gronkowski didn't announce his NFL comeback until April, but James Harrison knew it was coming five months earlier.

Harrison said Gronk, 30, was talking about a comeback when they filmed their "Golden Gronks" skit, which later aired before Super Bowl LIV.

"I knew then that he was going to come back," Harrison told TMZ Sports. "He was talking about it. He was itching then. He was feeling a lot better. You get a year off, you get to heal your body...that whole process was not a surprise to me.
