Rob Gronkowski, the former NFL star, is enthusiastically transitioning into a post-football career. Gronkowski is embracing new opportunities after a successful 11-season NFL career, including four Super Bowl wins and numerous accolades.

He’s actively participating in his brother’s Ice Shaker company and is interested in his father’s fitness equipment business.

Though, he mentioned that he might reconsider it with the New York Giants under Head Coach Brian Daboll, who coached him during his time with the New England Patriots. While this may seem like a nod to his former coach, Gronkowski has retired before and returned to the league, so it’s not entirely ruled out, yet it seems unlikely. Daboll downplayed the idea, emphasizing their friendship but not discussing football reunions. Gronkowski retired in June 2022 after playing for the Buccaneers. Although he joked about Daboll wanting him on the roster, the Giants appear content with their tight-end situation, having acquired Darren Waller in the offseason.
