Last week, former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski very subtly sparked unretirement rumors after he said the person who would have the best chance of bringing him out of retirement would be Giants coach Brian Daboll.
Daboll, who’s entering his second year as the coach of New York, was asked about Gronkowski’s comment on Tuesday. The coach made sure to note that while he respects his friend, he knows nothing will come out of this rumor.
“I’m close with Rob, so got a lot of respect, admiration,” Daboll said. “Coached him for four years. He’s a good friend. We’ve talked, I’m not saying we talked about that, but he’s a close friend. When you coach someone for four years and he’s a very productive player for you and really a good person. ... Wouldn’t read too much into that.”
