Tampa Bay Buccaneers Rob Gronkowski lauded the efforts of the streaker who made a scene on the field midway through Super Bowl LV. He jokingly claimed that the Kansas City Chiefs should sign the streaker since he managed to score on the field while the team didn't, via B/R Gridiron.

The streaker compensated and provided entertainment for Buccaneers and Chiefs fans during the fourth quarter of a less than stellar title game. He evaded numerous security personnel as he ran the length of the field before managing to reach the endzone.
After the game, reports have emerged that the streaker made the scene as a part of a bet. He placed a $50,000 wager on a +750 odds that someone would streak and make a scene in the middle of Super Bowl LV. It reportedly cost him $1,000 to get out of jail, ultimately leaving him to enjoy the remaining $374,000.

They couldn't match up against the Buccaneers who were effective on both ends of the field. Tampa Bay stepped on the pedal and never looked back as they grabbed the all-important win on their home turf. Veteran quarterback Tom Brady eventually led his team to a 31-9 victory to land the team's second Super Bowl title in franchise history.
Rob Gronkowski also nabbed the fourth ring of his career, all while playing alongside his longtime quarterback in Tom Brady. Perhaps the Chiefs could consider the streaker in the offseason as part of their plans to get back to contention, don't they?
