Still have my Army re-enlistment bonus from 2008. I has more that tripled. So yeah, it can happen.
Rob Gronkowski confirms he still hasn't really tapped into the $70,629,507 he made in the NFL.
As a rookie, he figured out that if he lived off endorsements and played for 4 years, he would never need to work another day in his life.
“Then things kept growing.”
LEONARD FOURNETTE: “So, is it true you still haven’t spent a dime of your NFL money?”
GRONK: “I was a second-round pick. It was $4 million. Like, 3.5 was guaranteed. And I was like, so if I play those four and that’s all I have, I can put 2 million in my bank. And I was like, ‘I’m good.’ I thought just renting an apartment was great.”
“I got brought up as more of a frugal guy, frugal family. I was using my brother’s equipment. They would hand it down to me. So it wasn’t like I had anything new growing up. So I didn’t even know what new was.”
“So if I save my money and live off a couple of the endorsements, doing the cards, little appearance over there, I never have to work at 24 years old if I just play four years in the league.”
“So I had that mindset, and then things just kept growing. So then I never tapped into my NFL money, really. If you look at it, I still have my NFL money.”
