Buccaneers' Gronkowski announces retirement from NFL for second time abc15
TAMPA, Fla. — As soon as Tom Brady announced his return for another season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the focus turned to one of his favorite targets on the field, tight end Rob Gronkowski.
"I want to thank the whole entire first-class Buccaneers organization for an amazing ride, trusting me to come back to play and help build a championship team. I will now be going back into my retirement home, walking away from football again with my head held high knowing I gave it everything I had, good or bad, every time I stepped out on the field," Gronkowski said in a statement.
He previously retired after the 2018 season, ESPN reported, but he was coaxed out of retirement by Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady two years later. “Gronk,” as he’s affectionately known around the sports world, finished his contract in Tampa at the end of last season and was officially a free agent.According to Pro Football Reference, Gronk caught 62% of the passes he was targeted on last season, up from 58% the season before. He also averaged 67 yards receiving per game for the season.
