Rob Gronkowski announces his next chapter
Rob Gronkowski at the ESPY Awards.Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has a new identity: “Mr. Recovery.”
“You know you like that name,” Gronkowski said in a press conference Tuesday morning to announce his “next chapter.”
Gronkowski will be partnering with Abacus Health Products to advocate that cannabidiol, more commonly known as CBD, is an acceptable, alternative way for players to deal with pain. Cannabis of any kind, including CBD, is currently on the league’s list of banned substances. Gronkowski said his dad introduced him to CBD products following his retirement in March, and, as a result, he’s felt pain-free “for the first time in over a decade.”
