Rob Gronkowski is coming out of retirement to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and his impending return sparked plenty of reaction from around the internet.
The 30-year-old tight end spent one year away from the field before getting the itch to play again. His hiatus included runs with FOX Sports and WWE, while his return will include a trade from the New England Patriots to the Buccaneers, where he'll be reunited with quarterback Tom Brady.
Here are some of the best reactions, leading off with Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez:
