Watch: Tom Brady’s ex-teammate Rob Gronkowski jumped 11,000 feet off the plane

Once the New England Patriots enjoyed a stellar era of quarterback-tight end duo, featuring Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady, that enabled them to enjoy four Super Bowl glory. In the absence of the duo, the Patriots are now a team, better to be mentioned as one of the worst teams, which even found reasons to celebrate a regular season win, a cringe show per Rob.

Though Gronk already wrapped up his NFL career for good, his new chapter as an analyst for FOX Sports has seen the NFL legend embark on an out-of-the-box feat recently.

Watch: Rob Gronkowski skydives 11,000 feet from the plane

FOX Sports aired its Veterans Day program from the Air Force Academy. The Patriots’ former star tight end decided to make an entry in front of the NFL world in a different manner. The superman on the field who was critical behind Brady’s success in establishing a Super Bowl career, was eyeing to make his trial as a master on the air as well.

The future Hall of Famer wrote down his name as a part of a skydiving segment from 11,000 feet. Until he took a jump out of a plane in honor of Veterans Day, no one could ever imagine the latent talents that Gronk has been possessing in himself.

The host of the program, Curt Menefee, had perfect words to describe the scenario as the former player’s fans were eagerly waiting to witness another milestone of the Patriots Super Bowl-winning TE.

“Now, there will be a parachute with him, so you have to make sure with Gronk, you never quite know. But he’s going to do it live on the air. I’m looking forward to seeing that because it’s one thing to sit around and go, ‘Oh, I’ll jump out of a plane and I’m not nervous and I’ll do that.’ It’s different when it comes time to strap it on and go up — I think it’s going to be 11,000 feet he’s going to jump from — and have to do that live on television. So, I’m interested to see if he’s able to step up to the plate and do it,” he said.

On air Rob’s prowess was yet to unfold, yet on the field, he even stole the heart of Brady’s son Jack Benjamin as he intends to end up being a legend like Rob Gronkowski

Rob Gronkowski explains his skydiving experience

Rob Gronkowski successfully entertained the host and his fans with his skydiving prowess that he celebrated with a ‘Gronk Spike’ before landing on the ground safely, per Clutchpoints.

 It’s surely a win for the four-time Super Bowl winner who seems it is nothing short of conquering a game. For Rob, it was “one of the best experiences” of his life. 

The former Patriots player described the event as not easy for him when he jumped from the plane, yet the assistance he got from his skydiving partner was enough to steal the event. After three taps or so, ultimately he set down on the earth, winning air for the first time.
