Buccaneers share first photos of Rob Gronkowski in new Tampa Bay uniforms
Earlier this week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers revealed the first photos of Tom Brady in the team's jerseys and now, the Bucs have released photos of Rob Gronkowski in Tampa Bay's new jerseys on Twitter.
The Buccaneers were one of the teams to unveil redesigned uniforms this offseason and fans have been dying to see their two new acquisitions in the new-look uniforms.
Gronk missed all of last season when he retired from the NFL after winning the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams. However, after Brady signed with the Buccaneers this offseason, Gronk told the Patriots that he wished to unretire to join his former quarter in Tampa Bay. On the Ellen Show, Gronk explained his decision to retire, saying his body needed a rest.
"At the time that I retired, I definitely felt like it was the right decision," Gronkowski said. "I needed a break from the game. I've talked about it many times, I mean, I played football for 15, 16 years straight […] I just feel like my body needed a little rest. I wasn't sure if I was really going to get back into football at the time, but my body healed up."
Tampa Bay had the most passing yards in the league last season and now, with Brady and Gronk joining the team, they're hoping to cut down on mistakes and become an elite offense. The Buccaneers are loaded at tight end, as Gronk will be teaming up with OJ Howard and Cameron Brate.
