Gronkowski won't commit to returning next season after SB loss
New England Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski may be contemplating a future without football following Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII.
When asked about rumors that he'll consider retirement, Gronkowski told reporters, via Henry McKenna of USA Today, "I don't know how you heard that. I'm definitely going to look at my future, for sure. I'll sit down in the next couple of weeks and see where I'm at."
While Gronkowski has put up Hall of Fame-worthy numbers over his eight-year career, he's also dealt with myriad injuries and has only played in all 16 regular-season games once.
The 28-year-old missed two games this season - one for a thigh injury and one due to a suspension. He also suffered a concussion in the AFC Championship Game.
Gronkowski caught nine passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns in the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.
