A photo of Rob Gronkowski doing ballet is making the rounds and like anything Gronk does, it’s going to create a mass amount of attention.
Frankly, why shouldn’t it? The New England Patriots tight end does a lot of unique things, but there isn’t much better than Rob Gronkowski performing ballet, right?
I’m not exactly sure why he was doing this – maybe he was put up to a dare – or perhaps it was simply part of his offseason training routine. Either way, this picture of Rob Gronkowski taking a ballet class is internet gold.
Gronk does barre?! Need to see a video of this as soon as possible. cc: @rebdavis500 pic.twitter.com/Mr5nvmfewK

Seeing a NFL talent, no matter how popular, take a ballet class isn’t exactly shocking though considering football players do so quite often. In fact, it’s something that a lot of athletes (no matter the sport) have picked up as both hockey and baseball players also take ballet to help their core strength and legs.
In fact, the Green Bay Packers routinely put the entire team through offseason ballet class and former lineman have said it really helps them with their balance.
As if opposing football players didn’t have enough trouble tackling Gronk before, now they’ll have to deal with a stronger towering tight end when they play the New England Patriots next season.
