https://sports.yahoo.com/rob-gronkowski-weight-loss-seals-it-hes-retired-204921013.htmlIf there was any lingering question about whether Rob Gronkowski plans a last-minute return to the NFL in 2019, the chances appear to have dropped significantly.
Right along with his weight, apparently.
In the clearest sign yet — aside from Gronkowski repeatedly insisting he is retired — the former New England Patriots tight end popped up for the premiere of Showtime’s “100 percent: Julian Edelman” premiere looking like he’d slimmed down considerably from his 270-pound playing weight during the season. Gronkowski briefly appeared on the red carpet for the documentary’s debut at Foxborough’s Showcase Cinema de Lux — a movie theater located inside owner Robert Kraft’s Patriot Place retail complex. Wearing gray shorts and a white T-shirt, Gronkowski mugged for cameras for a moment, showing off a physique that looked significantly more trimmed down than his playing days.
So much so, it started a miniature wildfire on Twitter over the photos and video that emerged — including some snarky comments about where some of the muscular bulk went to so quickly.
“Must be on a different #TB12 program now,” tweeted former NFL team doctor David Chao, who has earned a sizable social media following for his ability to diagnose injuries almost instantaneously on the platform.
