Gronk is hanging up his helmet…again.After fellow “Bad Boy For Life” Tom Brady announced he would come back for his 23rd NFL season earlier this year, Gronkowski has decided he will not follow suit.Here is the full statement Gronkowski posted today:In college, I was asked to write about a dream job opportunity that I wanted to pursue and where the location would be.

Every time I had to write about my future, no matter what, I picked being a professional football player. For that assignment though, we had to pick the location.

So I wrote that I wanted to play in Tampa for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for many reasons, the sunny weather being #1. I completely forgot about writing this report until 2 years ago when I had the opportunity to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And let me tell ya, the journey in Tampa over the last 2 years has blown away what I originally wrote about in college, big time.
