Rob Gronkowski spoke to Rich Eisen about retiring, potential return

The day before the Fourth of July, one of the sporting world’s greatest All-Americans dialed in for an exclusive phone interview on The Rich Eisen Show.

Ex-Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski participated in a lengthy conversation with host Rich Eisen that covered all variety of topics. They discussed the recent viral photo taken at Julian Edelman’s “100%” sports documentary premiere, in which Gronk looked noticeably slimmer than we’ve seen him in years.

The retired big man laughed off the photo and all those worrying he now weighs around 200 lbs or less, stating definitively that he’s down to 250 lbs… which is still 15 lbs lighter than his playing weight most of his career.
