Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski Max Gersh/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK

Rob Gronkowski remains true to his character even when charity is involved.

Damar Hamlin’s charity toy drive has raised over $8 million. Donations to the drive, which Hamlin started in 2020, surged after the Buffalo Bills safety had a serious medical emergency during the team’s Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Many figures around the NFL have donated to the charity, including former tight end Gronkowski. Gronk donated $6,900 to the toy drive, which is a very fitting amount.

Gronk is well known for his sophomoric humor, which includes a love of the number 69.

Gronk keeping things light even during a tough situation like this provides some nice comic relief.
