When asked about a comeback to the NFL, Gronkowski didn't rule it out entirely. He gave a wide ranging timeline saying it could be possible in three months or two years, but nothing in the foreseeable future.
"Maybe down the road. I have to have that passion. I have to have that fire," he said. "I'm not going to go out there and be beat the F up. That's not the way to live."
Gronkowski said that he could physically play right now, but mentally he is not there. He also made it a point to say that even if he's physically and mentally able to step back onto the field, if he's enjoying his life away from football, he'd stay retired.
