New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is widely known as the NFL's most fun-loving, hard-partying player, but he needed some convincing to take part in the team's Super Bowl victory parade on Tuesday.
Gronkowski told television reporters he "wasn't even planning on partying" at the parade, but capitulated because "the fans were asking for it."
He certainly lived up to his promise:
