Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski celebrated in style after helping the Bucs to a dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
Gronk followed through with a postgame promise to go to Disney World, even engaging a young fan in a lightsaber duel, mask and all.
The former All-Pro has always been one to show off his childlike attributes and fun-loving side, though Gronkowski sure played like a grown man on Sunday. He led the Bucs with six catches for 67 yards, including a pair of scores that gave Tampa Bay the early lead. Gronkowski exploited Kansas City's defense on play-action looks and in the seams, and he also had a nice gain on a tight end screen.
Tampa Bay's championship run marked the end of a successful return for Gronk, who came out of retirement after Tom Brady announced he was signing with the Buccaneers. Now, the question will be whether the 31-year-old wants to keep playing football.

Brady is looking forward to running it back on his quest for Super Bowl No. 8, and he would surely love to have his trusty tight end along for the ride.
Gronkowski was a threat in Tampa Bay's offensive system, finishing the regular season with 45 catches for 623 yards and seven touchdowns. He also played a vital role in asserting the Bucs' stretch-zone running scheme, which flourished on Sunday night.
For now, however, Gronkowski will take time to soak it all in and relish yet another glorious Super Bowl title. The occasional lightsaber battle seems to be in order, and more Gronk celebrations will surely pop up in the coming days.
