Rob Gronkowski is one of the best tight ends in NFL history. Fans today don’t get to see him playing football anymore and instead have to resort to seeing Gronk provide his NFL analysis on Fox Sports.
That’s been the case since the end of the 2021 NFL season when Gronkowski retired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the age of 32. Now 35, the four-time Super Bowl champion may be thinking about playing pro football again.

Rob Gronkowski reportedly mulling unretirement, could join Denver Broncos
Rob Gronkowski has already retired and returned to the NFL once. Could the future Hall of Famer be getting ready to do so again?
According to Denver Sports’ Cecil Lammey, Gronkowski is “considering a return to the NFL.”
Taking the report a step further, Gronk reportedly “loves” Denver and their quarterback Bo Nix. Plus, as Lammey notes, Gronkowski previously worked with Denver’s head coach Sean Payton at Fox Sports. Even Gronk’s brothers, Dan and Chris, played for the Broncos.
Now, Rob could reportedly be considering becoming the latest Gronkowski brother to play for the Broncos. He’d certainly fill a need in Denver, with the Broncos frequently projected to select someone like Penn State’s Tyler Warren or Michigan’s Colston Loveland in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Adding Gronk would reduce that need while adding a four-time former All-Pro with 11 years of NFL experience to the locker room.
Yet, he hasn’t played an NFL down since January 8, 2022. Would Gronk really suddenly return now?
