Former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski is reportedly considering a return to professional football at the age of 35, with Denver Broncos emerging as a potential destination. The four-time Super Bowl champion, who last played in the NFL in 2021, is weighing another comeback after previously returning to play with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.
Gronkowski’s Possible Move to the Broncos
Sources suggest that Gronkowski has been in contact with Denver’s head coach, Sean Payton, with whom he built a relationship during their time as NFL analysts at Fox Sports. The possibility of playing with rookie quarterback Bo Nix is also said to intrigue him.
If he joins, Gronkowski would bring veteran leadership and championship experience to the Broncos, who are looking to strengthen their offense for the upcoming season.
Missed Opportunity with Joe Burrow
In a recent interview, Gronkowski revealed that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had previously reached out to him about a possible collaboration. However, believing the message was a prank, Gronkowski ignored it.
"I thought someone was messing with me, so I never responded," he admitted. Burrow later confronted Gronkowski in person, leading to an awkward apology.
Financial Success with Apple Investment
Beyond football, Gronkowski has proven to be savvy with money. He recently shared that a $69,000 investment in Apple stock over a decade ago has grown to nearly $600,000, demonstrating his financial foresight beyond the gridiron.
Personal Life: Dating Camille Kostek in Secret
On a personal note, Gronkowski’s longtime partner, Camille Kostek, recently shared that the couple had to keep their relationship secret in the early days due to her role as a New England Patriots cheerleader. Cheerleaders were prohibited from dating players, forcing them to go on “undercover dates” to avoid scrutiny.
What’s Next for Gronk?
With the NFL offseason in full swing, speculation about Gronkowski’s future continues. Whether he ultimately returns to the field or remains in retirement, his presence in football—whether in media, business, or personal stories—continues to make headlines.
