Rob Gronkowski has become that retired guy who passionately voices his opinions.
The legendary former New England Patriots tight end, Rob Gronkowski, has some strong objections when it comes to the NFL’s officiating, particularly in how they handle roughing the passer calls.
While discussing the roughing call on Mac Jones during his appearance on “Up & Adams” with Kay Adams, Gronk candidly expressed his discontent, stating, “The NFL is doing a terrible job with it.”
Many others also chimed in on social media to share their perspectives.
One user succinctly remarked, “Just end the sport.”
Another comment read, “Ridiculous roughing the passer penalty… NFL should be embarrassed.”
David Aldridge tweeted, “This is even crazier after you hear the NFL explain, with a straight face, that Henry should be able to, somehow, bypass Newton’s First Law of Motion.”

Another individual added, “Funny how we fine players thousands of dollars for celebrating a touchdown, but refs can alter the outcome of a game, and no action is taken.”
In agreement, someone stated, “Yeah, this is pretty egregious.”
It’s evident that the NFL has a vested interest in promoting its star quarterbacks, and any harm to them can have adverse consequences for the business.
