Rob Gronkowski came out of retirement and won the Super Bowl in his first season back in the NFL.

The former tight end could have easily gone right back home following his fourth Super Bowl title and rode off into the sunset like other NFL legends such as Peyton Manning, Ray Lewis and Michael Strahan – all of whom retired as Super Bowl champions.

But Gronk was committed to a second season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The then-defending champions went 13-4 in the regular season, but eventually lost to the future Super Bowl winners, the Los Angeles Rams, in a thriller – L.A. won on a field goal as time expired.

Gronkowski originally called it a career after the 2018 season, which was his ninth. At the time, Gronk had actually retired as a champion after his New England Patriots  defeated the Rams in Super Bowl LIII. It was Gronk's third championship.

But because of the 2021 season, Gronk's last NFL game, instead, was a loss. It almost was Tom Brady's too – he retired shortly after that game, but that only lasted 40 days. He came back for the 2022 season, but has since retired "for good." Brady's last NFL game still remains a loss.

Brady won his seventh and final Super Bowl at age 43 alongside Gronkowski (it was the duo's fourth together), and no one would have faulted him for hanging it up on top. Who knows how Brady feels now, but Gronkowski can only speak for
