American Football The National Football League (NFL) have to go on without one of its banners, for Rob Gronkowski of the champion New England Patriots announced yesterday his retirement via Instagram. The 29-year-old American is 79 touchdowns regarded as one of the best players ever on his position as a tight end .

“It all started at the age of twenty when my NFL dream became reality. Now I am within a few months 30 years, I take one of the most important decisions in my life. I stop as American Footballspeler.” With these words announces Rob Gronkowski his retirement as a NFL player. In 2010 he made the transition from the College League to the National Football League and traded Gronk the University of Arizona for the New England Patriots. For nine years he was a fixed pawn as a tight end and he reached four Super Bowls, three of which were won. The last previous month, 3-13, it was against the LA Rams.

No one knew then that Gronkowski his last match would have played, yet he left his farewell already slightly suspect during the kampioenenviering. “I’m not going to lie and say that every week just to work smoothly. There are a lot of ups and downs. You can result in serious injuries up, because you get a lot of hits on the legs and on the head. That eats away at your morale.”
