Rob Gronkowski just set a wild world record by catching a football out of a helicopter

This is such a wild record for Rob Gronkowski

Yes, this is just as ridiculous as that headline makes it sound.

Rob Gronkowski took a trip back to Arizona where he played his college football and broke an absurd world record. He caught a football that was dropped 600 feet from the air out of a helicopter.

Of course, there are so many questions that come with this.

First, whose helicopter is that? Also, why is this even a world record? Was this even a thing before? I seriously cannot imagine it being a thing before.

Well, regardless, it’s a thing now. And Gronk is, fittingly, the one who owns this record. It doesn’t make much sense but it’s Gronk — it never quite makes sense.

This is just wild. Teddy Bruschi shared a video of it.

Gronk with another all-time moment!

Then he lost it after.

And now Gronk seems to want to return punts.

Looks like the world record has motivated Gronk to return punts next season.

This is pretty perfect. Tampa Bay has to let him field at least one of those things next season. Just for the laughs.
