The former New England Patriots tight end retired this offseason.
Gronkowski spent his entire nine-year career with the Patriots, including three Super Bowl titles.
Many have speculated that Gronkowski may return to New England later this season. Gronkowski said that he's "in a good place right now" and "would have to be feeling it" to consider a return.
