“If I come back, I could be No. 69 and check in as eligible every play, where the referee would have to go over the microphone and say, ’No. 69 is eligible’ every single play. That almost got me to go back to football,” the GOAT Tight End added.
While Gronk didn’t reveal which team that was, he made it clear that it certainly wasn’t the Bucs.
