New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is one of the NFL's most marketable players, so it comes as no surprise that he has penned a book about his life.

Robert Klemko of The MMQB got his hands on "It's Good to be Gronk" ahead of its July release and shared some excerpts in his weekly column.

Here's Gronk on a college bachelor party he attended:

There were a lot of hot, sexy Mexican ladies there, but I picked out the largest, healthiest looking one, who had to be 260 pounds, like I was. After 10 seconds of me dancing on top of her in the chair, the collective 520 pounds of the two of us collapsed the fold-up chair. The crowd exploded with laughter. I got up and continued dancing (or twerking) to that Mariachi music. That was the best $30 I ever made!

And the frat-house brawl he was a part of:

Guys were coming at me from behind and from all angles… Eventually eight of them got me to the ground, and I was taking kicks everywhere, but our quarterback, Willie Tuitama, ran in and helped get me out of there. The girl I had been friendly with told me that I looked like the Hulk throwing four dudes off me. She loved it and definitely made it up to me later.

Gronk also provides some insight on his relationship with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick:

While I was watching a training camp practice in between my own exercises, Coach Belichick was standing right next to me and said, 'Rob, you are one of the hardest workers I've seen, and you're always working hard when you're here, but when you're not here… I don't know about your craziness off the field, the messing.' I started laughing and told him, 'The fun stuff makes me grind harder, coach.' He shook his head as he walked off and said, 'Whatever works for you.'

The book also includes an "explosive scene" between Drew Rosenhaus and another agent while they were recruiting Gronkowski out of Arizona, according to Klemko, but fans have to wait until July 14 to find out what happened.
