ROB Gronkowski was nowhere to be found on the Fox NFL Sunday set to cover the NFL’s Week 1 slate.
The New England Patriots icon, 35, has taken a new role with the network after being an analyst on Fox NFL Sunday from 2022 to 2024.
Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson, and Jay Glazer were all on set Sunday.
Gronk, however, didn’t appear on the program.
The four-time Super Bowl champion will be a contributor on Fox NFL Sunday and not a regular analyst like he has been the last two years.
Gronkowski will contribute to Fox NFL Sunday and Fox NFL Kickoff on Sundays during the NFL season.
