Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is raring to go as the Bucs look to repeat as Super Bowl champions in 2021.

The 31-year-old has dealt with a host of injuries throughout his career. But Gronkowski said Monday he is feeling healthier than ever and is ready to start the quest to repeat immediately:

“I feel like I could play another full season right now if we started,” Rob Gronkowski said, via Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times.

“Everything that I’ve changed throughout my career is definitely paying off, and it feels great. … I feel light, I feel flexible, I feel I can go out and just play some football. Just go out and not be thinking and just play football and run routes and do what I’ve got to do out there on the field.”

Rob Gronkowski's flair for the dramatic and party boy reputation would seem to suggest more celebrations are in order in the next few month. But Gronk said the Super Bowl boat parade and party sufficed for him.

Gronkowski returned to Tampa Bay on a one-year deal despite a strong push from his hometown Buffalo Bills. He should once again play a large role in the team's offensive success.

The four-time All-Pro had 45 receptions for 623 yards and seven scores during the regular season before putting his stamp on the Super Bowl with a pair of touchdown receptions. Gronkowski also grew more comfortable in run-blocking schemes throughout the course of the season.

Tom Brady is likely glad to have this motivated version of Gronk back in Tampa for another spin in 2021.
