Gronk isn’t the GOAT, but rather, a rhinoceros.
Former Patriot and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski, whose nickname has inspired thousands of fans to name their beloved pups after him, has a different kind of infant fan. A zoo in Tampa, Florida, named a baby rhino after him, welcoming the Super Bowl champion into town.
Gronk, weighing in at nearly 600 pounds, is 5 months old and is “getting more and more confident each day,” ZooTampa tweeted, along with photos of the star.
On Friday, Gronk the person admired the “little” guy, wholesomely tweeting: “He is so handsome!”
