One of the greatest Patriots players ever and one of the top three tight ends in NFL history is Buffalo native, Rob Gronkowski.
Gronk officially retired in 2022, after spending 11 seasons in the NFL, spending nine of them with New England.
Many people have speculated what could have been with Gronk as a Bills player and Gronk has also thought that.
Gronkowski was a guest on the the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams, and Adams asked Gronkowski if he was bummed he never played there?
"In a way for sure, Gronkowski said. "Growing up, I definitely wanted to be a Buffalo Bills player. Unfortuntaley, things didn't go that way; I would have changed anything in my career, but it would have been really cool if I played for at least one year (in Buffalo)," said Gronkowski.
Gronk added he had five more years to possibly come out of retirement, which has been speculated for a while.
There's no doubt that Gronk loves to stir the pot, but would he actually come out of retirement to play a year for his hometown team?
We have to wait and see.
