Ron Gronkowski has an estimated net worth of $15 million dollars
Ron Gronkowski is a professional American football player with an estimated net worth of $15 million. Gronkowski is a NFL tight end for the New England Patriots. He is 6’6″ and 265 pounds. Robert James Gronkowski was born on May 14, 1989 in Amherst, New York. “Gronk,” as he is known, grew up the second youngest of five brothers, all of whom showed athletic qualities. Two of his brothers played college football and one was drafted in the NFL. After having great first three years of high school football in New York, Gronkowski’s family moved to Pennsylvania for his senior year and he continued to impress winning a number of accolades.
Gronkowski attended the University of Arizona starting in 2007 and had an immediate impact, catching 28 passes and scoring six touchdowns on his way to being named a freshman All-American by The Sporting News. Even though he missed the first three games of the 2008 season, his sophomore campaign was even more impressive than his first year as he caught 47 passes and a school high ten touchdowns. He was projected to be a 2009 standout but missed the entire year due to a back injury and when he decided to enter the 2010 NFL draft he was not highly sought after. The New England Patriots selected him in the second round and he immediately showed his worth scoring four touchdowns in the preseason. During the regular season, Gronkowski showed his true value scoring 10 touchdowns, the first rookie tight end to break double-digits in TDs since the NFL-AFL merger more than 40 years ago.
His second year in the NFL established Gronkowski as one of the elite players in the league as he bested all his rookie stats, scoring a record (for Tight Ends) 18 touchdowns and the most yardage receiving. Gronkowski also had a standout 2011 postseason, although injuries affected him in the Championship Game and Super Bowl loss. Gronkowski’s unprecedented success in his first two years led to a six-year $54 million contract extension before the 2012 seasons. He would go on to score double digit touchdowns (11) again but injuries again curtailed his effectiveness at the end of the year and in the playoffs. Injuries continued to plague Gronkowski as he missed the start of the 2013 season, although he made his season debut in October.
