Non-Fiction Memoir
New England Patriots record-breaking tight-end Rob βGronkβ Gronkowski offers fans a front row seat to a football superstarβs life on and off the field.
βOne of the best tight ends the game has ever seen. Off the field, heβs unabashedly the cruise director of the NFL.β βNew York Post Rob βGronkβ Gronkowski holds nine league-wide records and three Patriots franchise records. His accomplishments include thirty-eight receiving touchdowns in his first three seasons (thirteen more than any other tight end in the NFL) and the 2011 record for most touchdowns made by a tight end, with seventeen receiving and eighteen overall. With a Super Bowl victory under his belt and a nationwide reputation for a personality thatβs βcomedy goldβ (CBS Sports), he has continued to win the hearts of fans through his fun-loving attitude. From hamming it up at Super Bowl Media Day, to spicing up interviews with βGronk-esqueβ dance moves, to cuddling with kittens in the pages of ESPN The Magazine, to christening a used party bus his ride of choice, Gronkβs good humor and playful persona make it seem like other players are βliving in black and white, and Gronk is in colorβ (CBS Sports). But itβs not all fun and games. After multiple surgeries on his forearms, ankle, and back, Gronk tore his ACL and MCL, prematurely ending his 2013 season (but not before scoring four touchdowns and 592 receiving yards). His many injuries and subsequent recoveries made his key play in Super Bowl XLIXβwhich led to victory and the title of βComeback Player of the Yearββall the sweeter. Gronk takes fans from the field to the locker room to the VIP room to the talk show green room to his parentsβ kitchen tableβa full tour of the world according to Gronk.
