Rob Gronkowski should have no shortage of options for how to spend his time now that he has retired from football, but the one fans seem to talk about the most is a career in professional wrestling. Oddsmakers believe a stint in the WWE is a real possibility for the former New England Patriots star.
On Monday, online gambling site BetOnline.ag released some odds for what Gronkowski may do first with his life after football. Wrestling in the WWE topped the list, with becoming an NFL commentator a close second.

If you’re looking for more reason to speculate about Gronk getting into wrestling, you might point to the fact that the WWE was quick to congratulate him following Sunday’s retirement announcement.

Part of the reason Gronkowski is retiring before age 30 is that he has suffered so many injuries over the years, and wrestling in the WWE is still physically taxing. He may decide that he wants to do something a little less demanding, though his own agent has not ruled out the possibility of him playing football again.
