Rob Gronkowski comments on Romeo Doubs wearing No. 87 for Patriots

Rob Gronkowski addressed the decision for Romeo Doubs to wear his former No. 87 jersey with the New England Patriots, stating that he was not consulted but is indifferent about it. Gronkowski expressed that he believes only Tom Brady's No. 12 should be retired. Doubs is not the first player to wear No. 87 since Gronkowski, but his status as a starter brings more visibility to the number. The discussion raises questions about the standards for retiring jersey numbers in the NFL, especially considering Gronkowski's significant contributions to the franchise. Gronkowski won four Super Bowl championships with the Patriots during his career.
