Rob Gronkowski said he’d let his son play football, but only if he’s ‘educated’ first

Will Rob Gronkowski let his future son play football?

The answer is yes, but only if he understands what his father went through while playing the sport. The former Patriots tight end doesn’t have any children, but he told CBS News anchor Reena Ninan on Tuesday that if he did have a son, he’d want him to be educated about football first:

He said he had about "nine surgeries, probably had 20 concussions" playing football.
