Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski recently decided to cut his retirement short by making a return to the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gronk will link back up with former teammate Tom Brady from the New England Patriots. We sat down with Gronk to learn a little bit more about his transition and decision to get back onto the field.
Tom Brady was the appetizer of the whole meal, an opportunity to start fresh and have a quarterback you’ve built chemistry with for 9 years is great. And on top of that, it was an awesome opportunity to be near my mom who lives in Florida.
The camaraderie of being around the guys in the locker room all the time. You become a family when you go to battle on the field together every week. I also miss the daily competition in practice and during games, you can’t find that anywhere else.
I’m looking forward to competing again. When you take time off to refresh and step away from the game, you get that drive for competition back again. To be able to compete week in and week out at such a high level is something special.
Doing functional strength training, eating healthy, hydrating correctly, and getting proper sleep every night. And also studying the playbook!
I'm starting fresh, starting new, it’s time to shake it up and find a new routine when the season comes around. So, as of now, it’s up in the air!
Making sure I’m always running routes, doing functional band workouts, and one other thing that I like to incorporate into my training is basketball drills which help me with my quickness and stability.
