“I've got that question many times,” Gronkowski told red carpet hosts Sofia Reyes and Jaymes Vaughan. “I mess with people, I say 'fake retired' to half the people, I say I'm coming back next week, but yes, I'm actually retired. But I like to mess around, sometimes tell people I'm really not.”

Gronkowski went on to say that all of his joking around might change his mind about football.
