For years, Rob Gronkowski has graced television screens across the country showing off his pass-catching skills in the NFL, but on Saturday night, he cranked things up a notch.
The former Patriots tight end hosted the LA Bowl between UCLA and Boise State in SoFi Stadium on Saturday, and Gronk had a planned surprise for all those in attendance.
Gronkowski, who retired from the NFL in 2022, was announced as the new host of the LA Bowl in October, taking over Jimmy Kimmel’s position. Whereas Kimmel trotted out the infamous vomiting camel to keep college football fans entertained, Gronk stepped up to the mic in a pregame ceremony and sang the national anthem, accompanied by the New Directions Veterans Choir.
