The four-time Super Bowl champ is still debating what his own future in the NFL will look like, whether or not that means becoming an official “legend” himself. For now, he’s excited to spend time with his brothers, father, and model girlfriend,Camille Kostek,while he catches up with some of the biggest former names from professional football.
“We got [Smith], [Rice], [Flutie],” Gronkowski shares. “What’s cool about it is that I actually hosted theirUSA Today High School Sports Awardsprogram last year, honoring awesome high school athletes, coaches, and teams across the nation. So hosting this party kind of just went together.”
He adds, “What better way to celebrate and party with USA Today with Flo Rida, myself and just honoring all the other legends out there.”
The network is just as enthusiastic about Rob’s participation, too. In a statement to PEOPLE, USA Today Network Ventures President Jason Taylor says, “Rob Gronkowski has been an amazing partner to USA Today Network Ventures.”
Taylor, whose company produces300 live and virtual events across the country, adds, “He did a fantastic job co-hosting our High School Sports Awards last August, which is one of the largest high school sports recognition programs in the country, so it only made sense to enlist him to host our NFL Alumni Legends Party this Friday night to ensure an unforgettable experience.”
