Rob Gronkowski DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

On Tuesday, DenverSports.com reported that five-time Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski was eyeing a potential NFL comeback, and the Denver Broncos were listed as a possible top suitor. However, FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz said he asked Gronkowski about the reports, and the 35-year-old denied the rumors. "Crazy bro. They must know something about me that I don't," Gronkowski said. "I wish I still had those powers, because that would be cool if I did. But I was just in Australia for a few days. Now it's time to relax a little. No football." The former New England Patriot and Tampa Bay Buccaneer is one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, so it would be exciting if he stepped back on the field. However, that doesn't appear to be in the cards based on his comments.

Four-time Super Bowl Champion tight end Rob Gronkowski is considering a return to the NFL, according to Cecil Lammey of DenverSports.com. The 35-year-old worked with Broncos head coach Sean Payton at Fox, and if he returns, Denver is likely a top destination for the five-time Pro Bowler. Gronkowski entered the league in 2010 and played nine seasons with the New England Patriots before retiring in 2019. He came out of retirement in 2020 and played two seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Overall, he has compiled 621 receptions for 9,286 yards and 92 touchdowns in 143 career games. This report should be taken with a grain of salt until further news comes out about the situation, but there's no doubt Gronkowski would carry fantasy football intrigue if he returns to the field in 2025. It would be a surprise if he's still a dominant pass-catcher, but he could carve out a significant enough role to make an impact in his 12th NFL season.
