Landing on the cover of GQ magazine isn’t easy. Unless, of course, you’re Rob Gronkowski.
The New England Patriots tight end was chosen to be on the cover of the June issue alongside Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Hailey Clauson. It took more than just gridiron dominance and a legendary party résumé for Gronkowski to score the honor, though. As Gronk explains in a video published Monday on GQ’s YouTube page, one must be able to pass the “Bro Combine.”
The “Bro Combine” — a spin on the popular NFL Scouting Combine — tests one’s bro-ness in several areas, including shirt ripping and silent dancing. Gronk predictably passed each section of the exam, including the written portion, which seemed to be tailored to his areas of expertise.
That “A+” looks good. Time to toss it on the fridge.
