Here’s what Rob Gronkowski said about Antonio Brown’s impact on the Buccaneers locker room

Even for Rob Gronkowski, who has experienced his fair share of wild scenarios in the NFL, Antonio Brown’s dramatic departure from the team seemed like a big deal.

“When things like that happen, it’s a big story,” Gronkowski told TMZ in an interview released on Wednesday. “You’ve got to just focus on what you’ve got to focus on.”

Brown ripped off his pads and jersey and left in the middle of the Buccaneers’ game against the Jets on Jan. 2, skipping through the end zone while encouraging the crowd to cheer louder.
