In his first year back in the NFL, former Wildcat Rob Gronkowski is heading to the Super Bowl yet again, this time it is with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Rob Gronkowski and the National Spotlight is one of the best duos in sports. And after the former Wildcat decided to return to the NFL this season after a year hiatus from the game, the fun-loving tight end is still staying relevant as he heads back to the Super Bowl yet again.

In his 10th season in the NFL, Gronk may not have quite the same impact on the game like he once did five-to-six years ago, however, as he has shown this year, he continues to make the key plays when needed. And perhaps more importantly, he possesses that same charm and luster that reels you in.

On a cold Sunday afternoon in Green Bay, WI, Gronk finished his day with only one catch for 29 yards (his only target). And while he wasn’t the star for the Buccaneers in their 31-26 win, nonetheless, his 45 catches for 623 yards and seven touchdowns this year were instrumental in getting the Buccaneers back to their first NFC Championship since 2002.

So following the win on Sunday, the Gronk is heading back to the Super Bowl for the sixth time in his career and his notoriety continues to help provide relevance to the Arizona Football program on arguably the Worlds’ biggest stage.

Come February 7, Gronkowski will once again team up with longtime teammate and friend Tom Brady, capping off what has been a whacky and wild 2020 Football season.

Their pursuit of another Super Bowl together will perhaps be their most daunting yet, as the Buccaneers will square off with the heavily favored defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Nonetheless, seeing Gronk continue to find success and have another opportunity to have a Super Bowl media day should delight Arizona fans everywhere.
