A Patriot for life, thank you Gronk.

After just 10 years playing in the NFL, Robert Gronkowski has impacted the league more than anyone I know. He became the perfect example of what Tide ends should look/play like forever. His intelligence, mixed with size, and athleticism were untouchable. Gronk helped the New England Patriots win three Superbowl's and an absurd amount of personal achievements. Not to mention, Gronk's last catch ever, was one that lead to the game winning score by the Patriots. By his fans, he is loved. By his teammates, he is respected. By his coaches, he is admired. The party animal, Rob Gronkowski has always stayed authentic to being himself, while also being a dedicated teammate. But with Gronk retiring at age 29, it leads to a much larger conversation. A conversation about player safety and concussions, is what needs to happen. Gronk has done so much for the New England Patriots and for the entire NFL. But now that he has retired after sacrificing so much for the Patriots and NFL, are they going to still take care of Gronk? It is no secret that Rob has been injury prone in the past. Receiving concussion after concussion, Gronk fought through it. How will the NFL help Gronk after his playing career, especially since Gronk has helped the league transition so well. Hopefully they will cover his medical expenses for life.
