It seems Rob Gronkowski kept up with Zach Wilson’s headline-making offseason.
During an appearance on “Fox NFL Kickoff” Sunday, the former Buccaneers tight end participated in a “Glass Half-Full or Half-Empty” segment, where he playfully took a shot at the Jets quarterback, who was previously accused of being involved with a friend of his mother’s.
“I’m going to go half-full, as long as they can get their QB’s head in the playbook instead of outside at parent-teacher conferences,” Gronkowski quipped Sunday.
Gronkowski’s remarks not only elicited laughter from his Fox Sports colleagues but much of the internet as well, with viewers quickly reacting on Twitter.
“Gronk did not just say that about Zach Wilson on live TV??!” one user exclaimed, while another posted, “We need more of Gronk on TV.”
