Rob Gronkowski flying 69 family members, friends to Super Bowl

Rob Gronkowski may have outdone himself once again.

A post to his official website Thursday revealed that the New England Patriots tight end will be flying exactly 69 family members and friends to Minneapolis for Super Bowl LII on Sunday. Field Yates of ESPN shared an image:

As hinted at above, Gronkowski has officially been cleared to play in The Big Game after suffering a concussion in the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 21. His effectiveness will be the main storyline heading into Super Bowl Sunday, but his ongoing fascination with the number 69 is probably a close second.
