Rob Gronkowski is excited for another season in the NFL as an analyst on “NFL on FOX” in 2024.
Before returning to the studio for the show, the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers superstar tight end spent some time in front of the cameras in a different capacity. Gronkowski was among the former Patriots stars who teamed up with Tostitos and filmed a commercial to mark the start of the season.

Gronkowski was pleased to reunite with Julian Edelman to make the announcement, but he also admitted in an interview with Fox News Digital that the two had a hard time staying focused.
“At first, we were laughing like schoolgirls, we were always teasing each other and laughing like we were in elementary school. That's Julian and I for the first 30 minutes on set,” she said. “We can't do anything because everything he says doesn't interest us.” [something]I laugh at him. If I do whatever dance move I'm doing in the dance recital commercial we started with, he laughs at me.
“And then finally we have to calm down. We have to calm each other down and then we can finally shoot the commercial because we're not laughing at each other as much anymore.”

Gronkowski said that's why he loves working with Edelman.
“We know what to expect from each other. We both know we're going to give our best as well, which we did every time we stepped on the field together.”
Gronkowski told Fox News Digital that he's a regular guy when it comes to his Tostitos snacks. He's the classic chips and salsa type of guy.
Gronkowski, Edelman and Tom Brady are featured in a Tostitos commercial celebrating the brand being the official chip and dip of the NFL, but scheduling conflicts prevented Gronkowski and Brady from filming together.
