I think that Rob Gronkowski chose to retire because of his age and his injuries. I think that his retirement will impact the NFL in the next few years, especially because the article said that Brady and Gronkowski will go down in history as one of the best duos to ever play the game.
I think he retired becuase he has had a good career and has accomplished a lot. Not only is Gronk getting older and facing more and more injuries as his body gets older. Maybe. Gronk was a big part of the patriots and they could stuggle to get wins next year without him.
I think that he was ready to retire because he has a lot of accomplished in his career, he won 3 three super bowls and now he thinks its time to hang it up, he also had injuries that may have affected his retirement. Yes the Patriots wont have a great TE to throw to and of course they wont be as good as they were before.
1) I also do agree. I think that he chose to retire because he was just flat out getting to old. This makes it really hard to play a sport when you too old. I think it was time for him to retire.
2) Hmmm, maybe. I am not sure. I don't really watch too much NFL but I have heard that he is a good player. I think that not reall becasue there are always great players that go through the NFL.
The stress on him mentally and physically probably forced him to retire. I think it will impact the NFL because the Patriots have lost their dynamic duo and may not make it as far into the playoffs. Many people say that Gronk was overrated but the plays he was able to make with the help of Brady is insane.
I think that he chose to retire because of his injuries and it might take him longer to recover due to him ageing. I believe that his retirement will affect NFL later on. However, there could be someone who could be on the rise, who could just be as good as Gronkowski.
Rob Gronkowski probably chose to retire because of him getting more prone to injuries while he ages. He also has made huge accomplishments through out his whole career. I think that it will affect the Patriots play style, so the NFL would be more fun.
