Rob Gronkowski is perhaps known as much for his silly personality as his football accomplishments, but by the time he retired last year, he had sealed his legacy as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history.
Gronkowski, who battled multiple injuries during his nine seasons with the Patriots, announced his retirement at age 29 on March 24, 2019.
"It all started at 20 years old on stage at the NFL draft when my dream came true, and now here I am about to turn 30 in a few months with a decision I feel is the biggest of my life so far," Gronkowski wrote in an Instagram post.
