Rob Gronkowski Estimates He Suffered 'Nine Surgeries, 20 Concussions' Playing Football

Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said he suffered about 20 concussions during his time in the NFL.

In a recent interview with CBS News' Reena Ninan, Gronkowski was asked if he would ever let his future son play football. The three-time Super Bowl champion said he would only allow it after educating his son about what he went through during his nine years in the league.

Gronkowski added that he was able to recover from many of his injuries and estimated that he underwent nine surgeries and about 20 concussions.

"I truly believe that any injury that you receive is fixable," Gronkowski said.
