Tampa Bay Buccaneers star and NFL legend, Rob Gronkowski has announced his retirement for a second time. Gronk took to social media and said, “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.”
“The friendships and relationships I have made will last forever, and I appreciate every single one of my teammates and coaches for giving everything they had as well. From retirement, back to football and winning another championship and now back to chilling out, thank you to all”, he said.

Gronkowski had previously retired in 2018 with the New England Patriots because of injuries. The 2010 second-round draft pick out of Arizona largely credits Tom Brady for setting the expectations for his career, and it was Brady who summoned him out of retirement in 2020 to play for the Bucs.
Twitter was full of praise for Rob and we have chosen some of the best reactions.
This better be the last time I say this !! Congrats on retirement @RobGronkowski !! Much love homie

No one has impacted the league from the TE Position in the last 20 years, like @RobGronkowski. His passion, toughness, skill, and emotion seems unattainable. @ArizonaFBall is so fortunate to call him a Member of Our Family!! https://t.co/Uzn2vf1LWH

Rob Gronkowski is the greatest Tight End to ever play the game, this is not debatable.
He is a patriot, elite blocker, and nearly impossible to tackle in the open field with the ball. Elite hands too.
Wishing Gronk a fantastic retirement and success in whatever he does next! pic.twitter.com/QfftoaGoxE
