NFL world loved Rob Gronkowski’s debut as analyst

Earlier on Thursday, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft left the door slightly ajar for a return to the gridiron for retired tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Just recently hired by Fox Sports to be a pre-game analyst, Gronkowski made his debut ahead of Thursday night’s game between his former Patriots team and the New York Giants.

By the looks of reactions from around the NFL world, Gronk absolutely smashed his debut.

“He’s furry. He’s cute. … Most importantly, whenever he gets the chance, he gets that nut."

Gronk’s first prediction should be that Rob Gronkowski comes out of retirement then he just goes to the locker room to get dressed.
