About
ROB GRONKOWSKI
Rob
Gronkowski joined FOX Sports in 2019 as an NFL studio analyst. He
contributes to FOX NFL THURSDAY, where he made his network television
debut, and FOX NFL SUNDAY. Gronkowski spent nine seasons as a tight
end in the NFL and won three Super Bowls as a member of the New
England Patriots. Gronkowski retired from the NFL following the 2018
season. He finished his career with 521 receptions for 7,861 yards
and 79 receiving touchdowns. The five-time Pro Bowler was also the
first tight end since Bo Scaife, and first in New England Patriots
history, to score a rushing touchdown. During his first season,
Gronkowski notched three touchdown passes in
a single game – the youngest rookie in NFL history to accomplish
the feat. Madden NFL 12 created the “Rob Gronkowski Award”
shortly thereafter to honor the achievement. Gronkowski spent his
entire career with the New England Patriots after being selected in
the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft. As a true freshman at the
University of Arizona, Gronkowski’s average of 18.8 yards per
reception was the franchise best, and his receiving yards were a
school record for a tight end at the time. He was named Sporting News
freshman All-American, Rivals.com freshman All-American, Sporting
News freshman Pac-10 and All-Pac-10 honorable mention player. In
addition to Gronkowski’s contributions on the field, he’s been
active in the community through the Gronk Nation Youth Foundation.
The foundation is dedicated to inspiring youth to reach their maximum
potential through sports, education, community and fitness. Gronk
Nation provides grants to sports programs and, in addition, the
Gronkowski brothers make appearances at events with select nonprofit
organizations. Gronkowski was born in Amherst, N.Y. He attended
Willamsville North High School where he played football and
basketball. He was named an All-Western New York first-team and
All-State second-team player. As a senior, he attended Woodland Hills
High School and was named a SuperPrep All-American, PrepStar
All-American and Associated Press Class 4A all-state.
