Legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski retired from the NFL following the 2021-22 season, but that hasn’t stopped all sorts of speculation that the former star could be looking to unretire, even though he’s continually insisted that he’s done playing. But his latest career move may have finally put all that speculation to rest.
On Saturday night, Fox announced that Gronkowski would be joining its NFL coverage on Sundays as part of the network’s Fox NFL Kickoff and Fox NFL Sunday shows throughout the season.
