Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski went head-to-tail with a tiger shark as part of the Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” in an episode called “Monster Tag” that aired Monday night.
No. 87 teamed up with researchers whose mission was to catch and tag tiger sharks in order to place satellite trackers on their dorsal fins and follow their movements once they leave the sanctuary of the Bahamas.
“I’m part of science! Who would have ever thought?” Gronkowski joked to the camera.
Ever the entertainer, Gronkowski stripped down to reveal a bright blue speedo with “Shark Week” emblazoned across the rear.
