Rob Gronkowski Joins Fox As NFL Analyst

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Rob Gronkowski will once again be coming to a television near you. No, the former New England Patriots star tight end is returning the the field. Instead, he will work as a pregame analyst on Fox NFL Sunday, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

Gronkowski confirmed the news with WEEI's Ryan Hannable.

"I'm extremely excited to be joining Fox Sports," Gronkowski told WEEI. "For the past 25 years, they've offered viewers top-notch NFL programming from the field to the booth to the studio. Their deep talent roster is unmatched, which was important for me as I embark on this new chapter in my life because I'll be able to learn from the best in the business."

Gronkowski's new job with Fox isn't his only new venture post-retirement. Last August, the former Patriot got into the CBD business with CBDMEDC. In a press conference that was essentially a free advertisement for the company, Gronkowski claimed to be pain-free and became an advocate for athletes using CBD to recover from pain and injuries.
