Since Rob Gronkowski broke his forearm blocking for an extra point against the Colts, a lot of people have been speculating how the Patriots’ big man would spend his free time.

But it’s doubtful that anybody saw this coming.

The students at Emerson College were presented with a challenge: make contact with one celebrity and get them to agree to come guest teach their class.

One group was assigned actor Mark Wahlberg while the other was assigned the Pats tight end. The Patriots tight end explained to the students that coming to visit during a busy football season would be tough, so he couldn’t make any promises.

Now that he’s out 4-6 weeks recovering from his injury, Gronkowski decided that now was as good a time as ever to make his debut as a college professor.

Check out the video below to see Gronk spending some time with Emerson students.
