Rob Gronkowski joked about the Patriots during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel

Rob Gronkowski, who spent nine years in New England with the Patriots, has never been above poking some fun at his former team.

Speaking in an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday, the 32-year-old was asked about the sequence of events in the Buccaneers’ 2021 regular season finale in which Gronkowski asked for Tom Brady’s help in getting one more catch so that he could hit a contract incentive (triggering a million-dollar bonus).

After playing the clip from the game in which Gronkowski was mic’d up, Kimmel asked if “that sort of stuff” has happened before (where a player specifically chases a stat in order to hit a bonus).
