Rob Gronkowski has not played in the NFL for nearly four years, but a rumor this week claimed he has his sights set on a potential comeback. It sounds like that speculation can officially be put to rest.<\/p>\n
Cecil Lammey of Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan sparked excitement among football fans on Tuesday when he reported that Gronkowski is considering an NFL comeback<\/a>. The radio host said he was told Gronk has a close relationship with Sean Payton and would love to play for the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n Gronkowski may be friends with Payton from the time the two spent working together as analysts for FOX Sports, but Gronk insists any talk of him making a comeback is \u201ccrazy.\u201d He shared his thoughts on the rumor with fellow FOX employee Jordan Schultz.<\/p>\n \u201cCrazy bro. They must know something about me that I don\u2019t,\u201d Gronkowski said. \u201cI 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\u2019s time to relax a little. No football.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n I asked Rob Gronkowski about his so-called NFL comeback. Here\u2019s what Gronk had to say: <\/p>\n \u201cCrazy bro.

He was only 33 at the time and still a very productive player, but he overcame numerous significant injuries throughout his outstanding career. Gronk was adamant at the time that he was done playing for good<\/a>, and there is no real reason to think his stance has changed.<\/p>\n Gronkowski seems to genuinely enjoy his \u201cFOX NFL Sunday\u201d gig, even if he has been bullied by his co-workers from time to time<\/a>. He won four Super Bowls, made the Pro Bowl five times, and is widely considered to be one of the best tights ends to ever play.<\/p>\n There is little question Gronkowski could contribute something to a team, but that does not mean he has any interest in doing so.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n This article first appeared on Larry Brown Sports<\/a> and was syndicated with permission.<\/p>\n\n
