Woman, son get Gronk autographs tattooed after meeting him in Tampa

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A woman and her son got former Bucs Tight End Rob Gronkowski’s autograph tattooed after meeting him on Thursday at a grand opening for a new Greenlane restaurant in Tampa.

Greenlane opened its newest restaurant on Thursday along North Dale Mabry Highway. Gronkowski made a special appearance at the restaurant.

Jessica Robinson and her son met Gronkowski at the grand opening and had him sign an autograph, which the two then turned into tattoos.

Gronkowski played most of his career in New England and retired in 2018. After Tom Brady joined the Bucs, Gronkowski came out of retirement and was traded to the Bucs, where he played until retiring again in 2021.
