Rob Gronkowski reportedly isn't 100 percent committed to the 2018 season and that is concerning to former Patriots linebacker and current ESPN NFL analyst Tedy Bruschi.
"He's been all-in for all of his career, so this does concern me that he has not made a decision up until this point," Bruschi said ESPN's First Take. "We're in April now. Offseason programs are about to start. Of course, they're going to want Gronkowski in the building. He has to decide if he wants to be all-in. Still, this does worry me somewhat."
"You've got to make a conscious decision to be all-in before you start a season with Bill Belichick, because it's hard," he added. "It is hard to be a player under Coach Belichick with the way he coaches."
The latest report surrounding Gronkowski came over the weekend when ESPN's Jeff Darlington said despite lingering frustrations between Gronkowski and the Patriots, it's "pretty certain" he plays in 2018, as long as Tom Brady returns.
It seems like Gronkowski will be back, but it may not be until he's spotted on the field for OTAs or training camp for it to be certain.
