Rob Gronkowski’s career could be seen as the meaning of success. He was a very dominant tight end for 14 seasons, but he decided to hang the cleats in 2021 while being a Buccaneer.

His first attempt of retiring came in 2019. Then, Tom Brady called him and convinced him to join the Buccaneers in 2020, where he won the Super Bowl LV. However, a year later he decided to quit football, this time for good.

The tight end has been linked to multiple teams since then and he even admitted he was close to join the Bills last season. For this reason, Gronk has now revealed whether he has intentions of returning or not.

ā€œThere’s no chance anymore,ā€ Gronk said to TMZ when asked if he could return to the NFL. ā€œI’m happily retired.I actually picked up pickleball. I beat my brother, Chris, who plays with pros, and my other brother, Gordon, who plays with pros too! And I beat ’em with an average Joe — my other brother, Glenn G., was my partner!
