Over the weekend, a video of Rob Gronkowski and Shaquille O’Neal engaging in a fierce dance battle went viral. On Monday at the Annual Meeting, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft weighed in with a funny quip about what it could mean for Gronk’s plans in 2018.
Kraft said he got a kick out of seeing Gronk get a piggy-back ride from Shaq the other night. "So that speaks well about his potential athletic moves this coming year." https://t.co/XR0JPTWx2Q

The video of the dance-off is pretty funny, but it contains adult language so we’ll simply link you to it, per Shaq’s Instagram account.
Additionally, Kraft said he’s seen Gronkowski in the building recently working out, which seems to indicate the tight end will return for another season in 2018.
Kraft said he saw Gronk in the Patriots' building a few weeks ago, after hours. Doesn't sound like a player ready to hang 'em up yet

After Super Bowl LII, Gronkowski shocked a lot of people when he wouldn’t commit to returning next season. He’s been linked to a potential WWE gig, along with a potential career as an actor in Hollywood, should he retire.
So far, he’s remained tight-lipped about his intentions. But the fact he’s so physically active and is hanging around team facilities is a positive sign that he could return.
