After Rob Gronkowski retired, a handful of players contacted him trying to recruit him to their respective teams.
One of those players was Joe Burrow, and he never got a response.
On his podcast, DudesOnDudes, Gronkowski shared a hilarious story about why he ghosted Burrow following his recruiting effort. The legendary tight end said that in the past, he had been fooled by fake phone numbers and didn't want to let his guard down.
"Fast forward I was like, I ain't ever going to let that s--t happen to me ever again. I ain't answering any random numbers," he said.
