Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski says he is retiring from the NFL after nine seasons.
Gronkowski announced his decision via a post on Instagram on Sunday, saying that a few months shy of his 30th birthday 'it's time to move forward and move forward with a big smile.'
'It all started at 20 years old on stage at the NFL draft when my dream came true, and now here I am about to turn 30 in a few months with a decision I feel is the biggest of my life so far,' Gronkowski wrote in his post. 'I will be retiring from the game of football today.'
