Rob Gronkowski is a man of the people, and he further proved that Tuesday with an insightful Twitter AMA.
The New England Patriots tight end tackled the tough questions — OK, not really — but still, it was yet another glimpse into a man whose “yo soy fiesta” way of life makes him an absolute fan favorite.
Here are the 10 things we learned about Gronk in his conversation with fans:
1. He still loves his mom’s cooking, but we’ve never heard of this dish. Maybe Bobby Flay makes it?
@RobGronkowski what's your favorite food? #sixstargronkchat
