Buccaneers: Here's Why Rob Gronkowski Thinks Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Are Winning the Super Bowl
Rob Gronkowski has made a bet regarding Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Super Bowl after the announcement of his retirement.
Fox News reported that Gronkowski's Super Bowl bet rests on Buccaneers, saying that he was just on the team and "basically have the whole team returning."
Gronkowski added that the team got Julio Jones now, describing him as a "beast."
The newly retired football player used to play for New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and ended his playing days at the Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook. He was with his girlfriend, model Camille Kostek, his family, and more than a hundred loyal fans.
Gronkowski noted that they have been playing in New England for nine years, making Mohegan Sun a home, "eat some diners, hang out with friends, and gamble a little bit." He noted that he is trying to stay active while he is out of the field, adding that he likes to stay active.
Gronkowski first retired in 2019 after playing his whole career with the Patriots. Meanwhile, Tom Brady came out of his retirement and commented on Gronkowski coming out of the field.
He said in a Sports Illustrated report that they try to solve some things without Gronkowski, calling him a "teammate, friend, and brother."
