Rob Gronkowski announced his retirement in an emotional Twitter post. But this is not the first time he has called it quits from the NFL. Previously, in 2019, Gronk announced that he’ll be retiring, citing he was not in a good place at the moment. However, later in 2020, after Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the TE made a comeback.

On the other hand, his retirement this time seems like a final adieu to fans. Responding to his tweets, fans posted heartfelt reactions. The four-time Super Bowl champion remarked that he has always wanted to be a professional football player, and the Bucs made it happen for him.

In the post, Gronk said, “In college, I was asked to write about my dream job opportunity I wanted to pursue and where the location would be. Every time I had to write about my future, no matter what, I picked being a professional football player.”

Gronk acknowledged how he made a comeback from retirement and won another championship with the NFL legend Tom Brady. He said, “From retirement, back to football and winning another championship and now back to chilling out, thank you to all.”

How did fans respond to the retirement news of Rob Gronkowski?

Multiple fans poured in their reactions to the much-loved career of Gronk. NFL Twitter fans went ahead and thanked the 33-year-old for his contributions to the sport. One user said, “you should definitely get a sport fisher style boat, a 69-footer and name it ‘Hades Heaven’ get it… 87? Thank you for performing at such a high level and keeping perspective… life’s too short to be too serious!”
