FX recently aired a new television series titled “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez. ” The series follows the prominent events in Hernadez’s college career, NFL career, and arrest. Since it’s a true story, the show must portray many real people, including Rob Gronkowski.
The show has gotten some slack for portraying people like Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft, and even Hernandez. However, that hasn’t been the case for the actor portraying Gronkowski.
Of course, it’s hard to get someone who looks similar to him, but many praise the actor for mirroring his personality and voice after a show clip went viral.

“Bro did a 1-1 recreation of Gronk, nothing dirty about this,” said one comment.
“Doesn’t look like him but definitely has the voice and laugh accurate lmao,” said another.
“He was my high school when he lived in NY, was in my gym class. This is exactly what he was like, fame and football didn’t magically make his personality change,” added a third.
“Casting look wise wasnt the best but he nailed the personality,” continued a fourth.
Gronkowski is unique, so it’s impressive that someone could replicate some of the things about him so well.
Rob Gronkowski Called For The Browns To Play Jameis Winston
The Cleveland Browns seem to be in a tough spot regarding Deshaun Watson. You have a quarterback you gave a ton of money to, and you don’t want to give up on him despite how bad he’s playing.
However, Gronkowski thinks the Browns finally need to think about playing someone else.
“They gotta start looking at Jameis Winston,” Gronk said. “And the possibility of putting him into the game.”
Of course, Gronk only played with Tom Brady his entire career, so he’s never experienced a QB room like this before, but he certainly has a point.

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
