Rob Gronkowski is one of the best athletes in Boston sports history.
Few players have dominated and/or revolutionized their position as much as Gronkowski did at tight end for the New England Patriots.
Gronkowski announced his retirement Sunday on Instagram after nine memorable NFL seasons. He finishes with many records, amazing regular season and playoff stats, and three Super Bowl championships.
On Wednesday, the Patriots tweeted a fantastic Gronkowski tribute video that will bring out a whole range of emotions from fans across New England.
All the feels.
There were a lot of special moments over the last nine years, and we enjoyed every single one of them. Thank you, Gronk. pic.twitter.com/GHzbhAOt2t — New England Patriots (@Patriots) March 27, 2019
