It didn't take long for Rob Gronkowski to find himself in hot water after being drafted by the New England Patriots.

In a clip from the Apple TV+ documentary series "The Dynasty: New England Patriots," Gronkowski revealed the team thought he went overboard celebrating his draft selection on stage with his family.

"They said, 'Hey Rob, you can get off the stage now. Enough is enough,'" the former tight end recalled. "And I'm sitting there like, 'Wow, I'm already in trouble. It's been five minutes since I've been on the Patriots, and I'm already in trouble.'"

The Patriot way knows no exceptions, @RobGronkowski
