Just to clarify about the title....I'm NOT Calling Gronk Dumb. I put dumb in quotations to try and show that it was being said by OTHER PEOPLE and not really true! In the video I try to show that Gronk has a goofy personality, but actually has an insanely high football IQ and is really smart. He is truly one of my fave players ever! Thank you guys soooo much for watching!! Love ya'll!!!
Anyone here to criticize for being "insensitive" or something really needs to hop off the PC bandwagon - life is too short! Instead of trying to imagine how others' words might be offensive or imperfect, try interpreting their words like you think they meant them *first.* it'll save you a lot of needles negativity and time lost fretting needlessly
NAH , he's dumb... come on. When Philly played them in the Super Bowl, the running joke was did he know 2+2 was 4. He makes the blonde-bomber Terry Bradshaw look like Einstein; and this guy took devastating hits in the 70's, where he almost went the Oakland bench by mistake on one ;on the morning show. So your a MIdget fan, girl you must like suffering. How you gonna feel when the BIRDS win their second this year, thanks greatly to Saquon. You a hater or a crier
Gronk did what Manziel couldn't: having a party lifestyle while still remainung disciplined enough to win chips and have a Future HOF career in the NFL
Leadership requires Seeing the Ground with a sober mind. No good to be foggy when the plates crash and FoG! We out is how you win as time x. If someone else can be sober for you and you can just grind it out cuz you can “Funkshhion” Than you are a BiG Pollack Woo can’t find a Balance, but he can get up4 the🛎️
Brady said it best: "He's a boy in a man's body." It wasn't an insult, it illustrated Gronk's wonderful, happy and funny take on life. He did his job well and lives his life even more so.
Belichick said in a recent Manningcast that Gronk wasn't really "Gronk" when he first got to New England. He put in the work, learned his routes and became the legend. He also seems like the one Patriot who actually could have fun on a Belichick team.
they all had fun when it was time for fun, no time wasted when it was time for football, but yes, as a lifelong Patriots fan it was like Gronk was the Patriots family dog, he could do no wrong
I too thought Rob wasn't necessarily the most scholarly athlete when I first heard him speak. But he's no dummy, especially when it comes to math. On a podcast, someone mentioned Rob's affinity for the number 'sixty-nine' (69). They started quizzing him, like, "what's 12 time 69?" Or "30 times 69." It took him a few moments, but he could do it all in his head. Impressive stuff, really.
thing is, he's not stupid at all....hes very smart, has not spent a dime on his contract $$, lives off his sponserships, very high Football IQ. He just is a free spirit, which can seem like hes dumb
Thank you Lauren for making this video it was very creative and I never knew that he partied all the time and had those crazy injuries so thanks you for sharing and I hope you’re doing well.
When he got either a first down, or a touchdown, I used to intone: "GRONNK", in a LOUD growly, "Tuvan"-throat singing, voice...even when I was alone, watching the game(!)
I actually argue the opposite. Gronk is/was never dumb. He comes off as not being book smart which could be true. However, he did several clever things in his career that I thought were hilarious. He was supposed to be traded to the Lions in 2018 (I think it was actually a done deal) but told the Patriots he was retired so the trade was killed lol. During Covid in Tampa, he was required to run a certain amount of times/days during his training. Gronk hated running so much that he decided to do all of his running in one day and filmed himself doing it in different outfits and at different times in the day to make it seem like he did all of the required running and sent the footage to the Bucs lol. He's stated several times that he has only spent his endorsement money and not his salary. When it comes to football IQ, the guy definitely was smart in that area.
Gronk was the kind of guy that everyone loves. Even when people hated the Patriots they still loved Gronk. He was not a stupid guy. I think he was quite intelligent but, he had a zest for living and having fun. He wanted life to be fun and worth living. and bring a smile to people's faces. Gronk is just a good guy. No arrogance or thinking he is above everyone. He just a down to earth decent guy. He is a legend and will be remembered for his playing years from now. And this is coming from someone who grew up in Kansas City and has always liked my hometown team the Chiefs.
tbh, Rob has a special place in my heart. Based solely on the stereotype of Rob told by many... I suffered a life threatening head injury that left me bleeding from the brain in ICU for 3 days. I was never the same. I struggle with many day to day tasks that most consider "mindless". I consider them a struggle. Just like Rob, I am not an idiot. Rob achieved greatness and has inspired me to quiet the doubters and throw salt to my haters. I created a RUclips channel that has grown to 160,000+ subscribers who I continue to entertain to this day. Rob is no dummy and neither am I. Love ya Gronk!!
Imagine Gronk's stats if injuries hadn’t come into play, they’re already great, but they would have been on another level. Great video for the greatest tight end ever 🏈🏈🏈
I always referred to him as..."Gronkenstein" with ALL the Surgeries he endured...Then to come back with that Arm Brace and the Knee Brace...That exactly what he reminded me of!!!
He’s never been stupid. He may just learn things differently. Even as a chiefs dude. He maybe better than either of our historic TE. I don’t care if he parties. Even now, I still love his unfomfy things he says or does. He’s a legend.
While not the only one...in football terms, Gronk was Superman. I had no idea he'd suffered as many serious injuries as he did and kept coming back. The Patriots should be thankful. I'm sure Brady is.
Poor Grong. Cry a tear or two and then go spend a million dollars. He is remember by me as a great tight end. I know that his attitude and love for the game is still making him a healthy pay check. You win Gronk.
Stupid is as stupid does as I wish I could be that stupid. He makes millions of people happy and keep him smiling. Not a bad gift to have merry Christmas Gronk keep up being you. You’re a great one.
As a Steelers fan, I hated the Patriots. Especially considering that they cost us at least 2 Super Bowl wins. But when you have 3 GOATs (Brady, Belichick & Gronk) on your team, things happen. Brady is something else. Bill did what he did with great teams. Gronk literally changed the game. Great video. Subscribed!
Great job! The irony of Gronk's career is that the Buffalo Bills could have drafted him but went for a defensive line guy who only lasted a couple years due to back issues.
As someone who is from Tucson, I can say this: yes, Gronk is also one of the best tight ends to ever play the game. He’s also not very smart. Both things can be true simultaneously
Peak Gronk, when healthy, was probably the most dominant offensive player in NFL history. He was unstoppable. That combined with his amazing blocking made him a nightmare for other teams. It was fun to watch! But i did feel bad for him how often he got injured.
KC fan from diaper to death and I love Kelce and Tony... but Gronk is The MAN. What a massive unit. Beast of a man. Glad I was able to witness his work in real time. Dude had zero brakes. Ja can say he was reckless w his body but... he played as he was.
Gronk was the man if he didnt deal with injuries he would have been even better his thing was he didnt care about being the best ever he made his money an won some rings
Just throwing this out there but if you had siblings mini sticks was always pure chaos and came with some rug burn, bruises, bleeding and crying lol so many wild mini stick games. PS you always make dope videos! Keep them coming!
@@SheGotSports yea the bruises on the knees and hands from slashing was brutal lol although I do recall a time at my one friends house we put a hole in the wall by my best friend hitting his brother into the wall and it was wild to see the dry wall break and thankfully they didn’t say anything until the next day when we all went home from the sleepover hahaha
"Gronk" was smart...at FOOTBALL. But it didn't make him an Einstein. And...destroying people MAY not absolve a person from being "dumb". But...I GET your gist! The "69" incident was hillarious! 😁😂🤣 All in all I LOVE that guy, smart OR "dumb", warts and all. He was fun-loving, which I'll NEVER criticize! And likely one of the smartest tight ends in the business(!)
In my experience the people who play dumb are usually the smartest in the room. Gronk is just a big kid having fun and people hate him for it. I say forget those idiots and have a blast
I never realized intelligence and physical, athletic abilities were all the same thing. Goodness me, I wish I would've knew this in high school. I could've told the principal. "I'm not dumb, Dr. Lutton. My athletic ability says otherwise!"

The best joke at the Tom Brady roast was about how dumb Gronk is. In fact about 25% of the jokes were about how dumb he is.
You miss the opportunity of doing the Belichick impression, or what is more easy, do the Edelman impression doing Belishick.
Gronk lost an IQ point with each concussion.

Good point. Gronk used his fun to channel that into his career. Manziel used his career to channel that into his fun. There’s the difference.
To be fair Manziel was a gimmick player and mediocre athlete by NFL standards gronk was a freak of nature
@cchigewe6834 also manziel was playing qb which is way harder than TE
Ronny Football!!!

I hated the Patriot run but I can't help but love Gronk, watching him broadcast now is a treat, such a rare personality.
I LOVE him!! He’s one of my fave players ever!
Have u done one on Thurman thomas?@@SheGotSports
Same. I hated him and Brady. Then they came to Tampa. Where I lived and was a Buc. My tune changed immediately. Ha. I own it.

Good, apt description.
He also said, "Everybody wants to be Gronk in 2nd life."
watching gronk play felt like watching a neighborhood pick up game where one team has full blown adult on their team. a man amongst boys.
hahaha thats a perfect way to describe it. Like a nerf ball game dude was DRAGGING MULTIPLE BODIES like it was NADA.
Hes not dumb, he just has a kid like innocence. The dumb one was Aaron Hernandez
I wouldn't call Aaron's behavior dumb, it was criminal, disgusting and more.

Gronk missing a free throw to keep the teams score at 69 is quite possibly the most Gronk thing of all time.
All this man ever wanted was a USAA membership 😔
"Come on Sam...need to feel that USAA spirit! Gronkier!"
he can buy mine for a dollar three fifty.
That's awesome, lol

Fun is contagious...even Bill can't contain!
they all had fun when it was time for fun, no time wasted when it was time for football, but yes, as a lifelong Patriots fan it was like Gronk was the Patriots family dog, he could do no wrong
And that wasn't easy, from what I've gathered(!)
he was 6'6 270 all muscle coming in after breaking tight end records at arizona
*"Even Gronk know dat not real money!!"*
- The comedian roasting Brady for losing millions in Crypto 😂😂😂😂
- Gronk was great regardless of IQ

You just gave one of the most exciting player focus videos I’ve ever watched. Tremendous thx
Gronk killed it on the field, Aaron Hernandez killed it off the field.
Clever...TRUE!
hey yous guys..
"He started flipping through the pages with his toes."
OMFG, how have i never heard this??? I laughed so hard i had to pause😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I LOVE GRONK
So that story made Belichick and you take the Lord's name in vain.
Thank you Lauren for making this video it was very creative and I never knew that he partied all the time and had those crazy injuries so thanks you for sharing and I hope you’re doing well.
Dude was a player. They are few and far between. But there will never be another Gronk.
When he got either a first down, or a touchdown, I used to intone: "GRONNK", in a LOUD growly, "Tuvan"-throat singing, voice...even when I was alone, watching the game(!)
Gronk rules! "I had to throw em out the club" lmfao

Yah !! 👍😎
Rob, greatest gift from the football gods to Tampa!!! Gronk, your presence, your commitment!!! your drive!!! It was all a dream come true!!!!
Gronk is literally the reason I select TEs on fantasy duel for gains. When I didn’t understand it by position I remembered gronk and his stats.
Rob is a monster! It was a pleasure each match 2 watch him. TY Gronk for these amazing seasons!
Im a die hard Miami Dolphins fan and cannot stand the Patriots, but man, I love Gronk so much!
Brock Bowers has a hell of a chance to be the next great TE
Well it's damn sure not gonna be soft ass Kyle Pitts
Hope Cardinals Trey Mcbride can learn to block this style dominate clear lanes !!
Gronk was a beast, sucks he ain't playing anymore but watching him was one of the best things alongside edleman
Gronk isnt dumb he's just more interested in having fun and living his best life than proving how smart he is.
Gronk was one of one
For real. Love him
I can tell you had a lot of fun telling the Gronk stories. Just imagining those early years with Belichick seems fodder for a sitcom.
2:50 you had a wonderful chance to show this pic of him during his OSU recruiting trip - on the sidelines, hair disheveled, and super hungover 😂😂😂😂😂
He’s never been stupid. He may just learn things differently. Even as a chiefs dude. He maybe better than either of our historic TE. I don’t care if he parties. Even now, I still love his unfomfy things he says or does. He’s a legend.
Gronk just loves life and shares the fun with us.
Can’t imagine what his already amazing career would have been if he didn’t get so many devastating injuries

No, Kelce is a TE who could play WR .

Hey Sis, Maybe you should switch to DeCaf?
Gronks football IQ was insane, He was just looked like he came straight out of "blue mountain state".
Gronk has explained to a whole generation of young men why women who went to college are no longer relationship material. He is a hero for this.
Everyone else had a tight end
The Patriots had a GRONK😂
