It seems like Gronk is enjoying his time away from football. And while that might be a great way to relieve stress, the legendary tight end also does jigsaw puzzles to sharpen his mind.
“It just lowered my stress levels just the way, you know, I was feeling,” Gronkowski said on CBS Sunday Morning when talking about doing puzzles. “I just, you know, just always anxious, always going. And I just needed to finally find some downtime to just relax.”
Gronk went on to say the puzzles also help with his mental sharpness.
“Just started improving my, you know, problem-solving skills, too, on top of it,” he says. “It was crazy. My brain was just clicking. It was just going. It was all on wheels.”
Gronkowski, 30 left the game at a young age which has led to many speculating about him returning to the NFL once he gets healthy. And while he has no plans on returning, he won’t completely rule out playing again.
“I wouldn’t say ‘never coming back,’” Gronkowski said to Mike Reiss of ESPN. “I’m 30 years old. I’m young. I still stay fit, still watch the game whenever I can, still enjoy it. I’m feeling good, but you know, one year off could possibly be the case. Or maybe two years off, man.”
Gronkowski was recently named to the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team as he helped the Patriots win three Super Bowls and was named to the Pro Bowl five times.
