Rob Gronkowski is really living his best life in retirement.
The former New England Patriots tight end and his girlfriend, Camille Kostek, reportedly plan to compete on the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars.”

Honestly, this makes total sense for Gronkowski. The man was (and is) a noted party animal who always loved to let loose. Now that he’s not playing football under the iron fist of Bill Belichick, he has all the opportunities in the world to party like a rock star.

Of course, competing on the show also puts an end to any rumors that he’ll come out of retirement. ‘Dancing With the Stars’ is pretty much a full-time job for those who participate, and it would likely be a tall order for him to play while training to wow a national television audience with his dancing ability every week.
So for all the Patriots fans out there who are still holding out hope for a miracle, pray that Gronkowski isn’t doing the samba on Sept. 16 when the 28th season of the show premiers.
Tom Brady averages more yards per attempt targeting Josh Gordon than any player during his career (min. 30 attempts).

If he is, then it’s clear-cut assurance that the four-time All-Pro and three-time Super Bowl champion has left his playing career in the dust.
