Newly minted Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski wants everyone to know he’s fitter and faster than he’s ever been—and to prove it, he’ll be working out on his Instagram Live at 5 p.m. (ET) today.
Gronkowski, who played nine seasons with the New England Patriots at around 268 pounds, has dropped 25 pounds since retiring at the end of his injury-riddled 2018 season. While he’s only been away from football for a year, he says he got the mental break he so desperately needed.
Though Gronkowski never actually stopped working out, his fitness routine in retirement took on a new look, with agility and stability exercises he learned from former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, with whom he will be reunited in Tampa.
