Returning to the NFL after a one-year retirement, Rob Gronkowski opened up about the nine seasons he spent playing for the New England Patriots.

Speaking to CBS Sports HQ, Gronkowski said he "can't say (the Patriots) are an easy organization to play for" before adding he's "definitely" going to take things he learned in New England with him.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Tuesday they acquired Gronkowski and a 2020 seventh-round draft pick from the Patriots for a 2020 fourth-round draft pick.

The trade reunites Gronkowski and Tom Brady after playing together in New England from 2010-18.
