It’s the end of an era for the Patriots.

Last night, tight end Rob Gronkowski announced his retirement on Instagram.

He ends his nine-year career on a high note, winning a third Super Bowl ring in February.

Gronk became known both for his record-setting play and his fun-loving personality.

WBUR’s sports and society reporter Shira Springer joined Morning Edition host Bob Oakes to reflect on Gronk's career.

This segment aired on March 25, 2019.
