So, the other day I found myself wondering, just how many Super Bowl rings does Rob Gronkowski actually have? You know, Gronk. Big personality, even bigger player back in the day. It feels like he was winning Super Bowls forever with the Patriots, and then he popped up again with the Bucs.
I decided to actually figure it out instead of just guessing. My first thought was just, “He won a bunch with Brady, right?” So, I did what anyone would do, just looked it up real quick. Didn’t take long to get the basics sorted.
Okay, here’s what I found
My memory wasn’t totally off. He spent most of his career, the first big chunk, with the New England Patriots. That’s where he really made his name. During his time there, things went pretty well for them, obviously.
I dug a bit deeper to get the specific years:
- He definitely got a ring for Super Bowl XLIX (that crazy one against Seattle).
- Then he snagged another one for Super Bowl LI (the huge comeback against Atlanta).
- And his third one with the Pats came in Super Bowl LIII (against the Rams).
So that’s three right there with New England. Pretty impressive already.
But then, remember he retired? Yeah, didn’t stick. Tom Brady went down to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and surprise, surprise, Gronk decided retirement wasn’t for him either and followed him down there.
And what happened? In their very first season together in Tampa, they went and won it again!
- He got his fourth ring playing for the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV (against Kansas City).
So, the final count…
Adding it all up, three rings with the Patriots and one ring with the Buccaneers… that gives Gronk a grand total of four Super Bowl rings.
Honestly, four rings is a heck of a career for anyone, especially a tight end. The guy was just a matchup nightmare and a touchdown machine when he was healthy. It was kind of fun confirming the number. Four rings. Solid legacy.
