And in particular, he looked to praise star receiver Egbuka – but struggled to get the pronunciation correct.
“You gotta give credit to this rookie sensation, wide receiver out of Ohio State, Emeka Egbigboo, going for over 100 yards,” he said.
After laughter in the studio, Gronkowski tried again.
“Emeka Egbuka, I’m getting confused!” he said before chirping toward the legendary Terry Bradshaw about his own pronunciation gaffes.
It came just weeks after Gronkowski took a major shot at Terry Bradshaw’s weight during a hilarious Fox NFL Sunday sequence.
During the early minutes of Fox NFL Sunday, Gronkowski confirmed that he was coming out of football retirement, but not to play in the NFL.
The future Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end announced he, along with his former Patriots teammate Tom Brady, will participate in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic next March.
Gronk also revealed he’s been training but that he’s got to “pick it up a little and run fast speed routes.”
Bradshaw proceeded to ask Gronkowski how much he weighed before saying, “we’ve got to get you weighed down a little.”
But Gronk only heard the last remark and made sure to poke fun at himself and Bradshaw’s frame.
“I’ve got to lose about 20 pounds just like you,” he told the Pittsburgh Steelers legend.
Strahan instantly showed his amazed look at the remark as he along with the the Fox NFL Sunday crew couldn’t believe Gronk’s comment.
Gronkowski then took back his words to Bradshaw and said, “I’m just messing around.”
