As a Pats fan I agree! As a Gronk fan I'm happy he made this decision. he's had like 4 back surgeries, couple of knees, a bunch of concussions...he's not yet 30 but has the body of a 60 year old. It was time for him, at least if he's gonna have any semblance of a happy life into his 50's and beyond.
Best TE I've ever seen, without question. Tony G had the better career, but Gronk was unstoppable in his prime, the best blocking TE in football, the speed of a slot receiver and the size of a DE. Special talent, and underratedly bright as a football player.
And for all the party talk, he wasn't a big drinker, he just liked having fun.
I could see him owning some restaurants ala Wahlbergers. Doing some game show type stuff. C-list acting. He'll keep busy, keep being linked to models, living the good life as a 3-time SB winner and soon-to-be HoFer.
But seriously, 'not a big drinker' for a 260+lb dude of Eastern European descent could still be more than enough to put a lot of more ordinary folks in a coma...
