By Kevin Aquino
If you're a regular viewer of NFL Sunday on FOX, the entertainment value might just skyrocket thanks to Rob Gronkowski.
The former Patriots TE has reportedly landed a studio analyst role on the program, making him a constant presence at the desk alongside fellow former players and other analysts.
Former #Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is coming to a TV near you: Sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo that Gronk has been hired by FOX to appear as a regular analyst for FOX NFL Sunday. A dynamic role for future Hall of Famer.

Although a recent clip of him practicing on a football field made the social media rounds and turned up the whispers of a potential return to the league, Gronk seems to be sitting tight in retirement. Getting paid to talk about football? Count the three-time Super Bowl champion in.
Gronk is reportedly scheduled to make his debut for the network this Thursday when his former team takes on the Giants. Who better to talk about the Patriots offense than one of its main cogs from 2010-2018?
