Despite his multiple claims of not wanting to come back to the league, many people continue to believe that Rob Gronkowski will eventually make his way back into the NFL as a member of the New England Patriots.
That might actually be true, but only if the league plays ball with him.
The former New England Patriots tight end recently suggested he would consider un-retiring if the NFL legalizes CBD for the use of players.
“I don’t want to be banned from playing the sport I love because I’m using a product that anyone can buy right off the shelf at their local pharmacy,” Gronkowski said, via the Boston Herald. “I’m not really sure why it’s banned.”
“I also want to have the option to get back into the game, and if I’m banned next year I can’t,” Gronkowski added.
Unfortunately for Gronk, it is highly unlikely the league would make any concessions unless they’re part of a new agreement.
“I’m not saying you put this on and you’re going to be healed, that it’s a miracle,” Gronkowski said. “But you can apply this and it’ll help manage the pain, and then you can get treatment and it’ll be a lot less stressful to the body.”
