New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski will be even more animated than usual, as he’ll actually be an animated character on the hit TV show “Family Guy.”

Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots is known for his crazy personality and touchdowns in the NFL. He’s been making the rounds recently in the Boston area, and will soon be seen on millions of televisions, as his very own “Family Guy” character.

On July 24, Entertainment Weekly reported that Gronkowski’s character will be a version of himself that moves into Peter’s neighborhood with his party bus. However, due to the wild nature of Gronk and his parties, Peter tries to come up with different ways to drive the unwanted visitors out of the area. The scenario sounds like something that could happen in a reality TV show based on Gronk.

Gronkowski’s publicity has already been off the charts during the offseason. Just last week he rocked out on stage with legend Paul McCartney. A few days ago, Gronk was seen passing out ice cream on a hot day in the Boston area. He’s also thrown out a pitch at a recent Red Sox game and hugged MLB legend David “Big Papi” Ortiz.

In addition, Gronkowski was a featured part of Nickelodeon’s show “Crashletes” with his family. Soon he’ll be back at it in training camp for the 2016-17 NFL season.

The Patriots tight end has one championship on his resume and will look to add another in the coming season. He’ll have to start the first four games of the season without the man who normally throws him those TD passes, as Tom Brady will be serving his suspension over “Deflategate.”
