Sadly, Gronk has left the building.
CLOSE What I'm Hearing: While the writing had been on the wall for over a year, the NFL world was still surprised to see Rob Gronkowski announce his retirement says USA TODAY's Mike Jones. USA TODAYNo, Tom Brady isn't going anywhere. But, with apologies to Randy Moss, TB12 won't be throwing to arguably the best weapon he's ever had and inarguably — in my humble opinion — the greatest tight end in league history.
Whether broadcasting, acting, business or some combination therein lies in Gronk's future, it seems inevitable he'll remain squarely in the public eye. Gronkowski's 1,327 yards in 2011 set the single-season standard at the position until Kelce and George Kittle overtook it last year. But Gronk's 17 TD catches in 2011 are still a record for tight ends and mark the only time one has led the league in that category.
No tight end has been better on Super Sunday. Gronkowski's 23 receptions for 297 yards are both Super Bowl records at the position. He nearly caught the Hail Mary that would have salvaged Super Bowl XLVI against the Giants. He was sublime in defeat against the Eagles a year ago, superb in victory against Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX.
The Gronk persona certainly helped burnish his legend — though Belichick almost unfailingly noted what an unselfish and intelligent teammate Gronkowski was — but it was his physical dominance that truly distinguished him.
