Rob Gronkowski: ‘more chicks’ during shirtless selfie
By Robby Sabo
New England Patriots tight-end Rob Gronkowski comments on a selfie the only way he knows how to.
One of the sure fire results of the New England Patriots knocking off the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX was the fact that we’d get to witness a little more of Gronk being Gronk.

The fact that Rob Gronkowski is only an All-Pro, ridiculously talented football player is the beginning. He’s also freakishly talented, powerful and represents a throwback attitude at the position so many have come to love.
On top of that, his outgoing personality and the fact that he occasionally enjoys the night-life becomes an endearing factor if and when it doesn’t get in the way of performance. See Johnny Manziel’s short NFL sample for the exact opposite effect.
After winning the Super Bowl, and after Dan Patrick so incorrectly asked Gronk how it felt to win the title again, the lumbering tight-end lead the party that spilled over into the champions locker room.
Teammate Chandler Jones came to visit and wanted a selfie with the oh-so fun loving Gronk.

Jones warned Gronk that the picture would soon be on Instagram, so if he wanted to put a shirt on to go for it.
In typical Gronk fashion, he could care less about being shirtless and replied with “more chicks.” And of course he stuck his tongue out and grabbed his crotch as the topper.
Somewhere at this very moment, Marshawn Lynch is proud of his understudy:
Crotch-grabber or not, Gronkowski was a vital part of the Pats offense that helped overcome a 10-point fourth quarter deficit. Quarterback Tom Brady was quick and efficient the entire quarter as he continually chipped away at Jeremy Lane’s replacement.
Gronk was one of five Patriots weapons who was targeted seven or more times in the game, as Brady set a Super Bowl record with 37 completions in the game. Only Julian Edelman surpassed Gronkowski in receiving yards on the night for New England
He finished Super Bowl XLIX with 10 targets, six receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown as he beat linebacker KJ Wright at the Seattle defense stubbornly walked him out wide in a man, one safety over the top look.
The only thing left for Gronk now is to reveal how hard he really partied Sunday night.
