Rob Gronkowski clears the air on wild Aaron Hernandez masturbation claims during Patriots meetings

Rob Gronkowski, known as much for his wild personality as for his dominant career on the football field, is no stranger to shocking stories. But his latest appearance on the Bussin' With the Boys podcast has fans doing a double take.
When a long-standing rumor about his late New England Patriots teammate Aaron Hernandez resurfaced, Gronk didn't dodge the question—he danced on the edge of confirmation.
Gronk calls out 'crazy' Aaron Hernandez meeting story fans still can't stop talking about
During the candid interview, former NFL offensive lineman Taylor Lewan put it bluntly, asking Gronkowski whether it was true that Hernandez had been 'in the team meeting room beating off and doing crazy s***.' Gronk's response was classic Gronkowski—half-joking, half-jaw-dropping: 'That's a possibility, that one,' he said, laughing nervously.
'I may or may not have seen it live. I'm not going to confirm nor deny.
'
Instead of expressing shock or disgust, Gronk leaned into the chaotic vibe that fans have come to associate with both him and the controversial Hernandez. 'I love crazy s***, though,' Gronkowski admitted. 'I didn't mind things like that. I was like, 'Wow, that was pretty epic.' I was a wild man myself. Nothing fazed me.'
This bizarre anecdote only scratches the surface of what has become one of the most infamous legacies in NFL history.

Hernandez, who shared the Patriots' tight end room with Gronk from 2010 to 2012, was once viewed as a rising star. Together, they were a nightmare for opposing defenses. But while Gronk's career soared, Hernandez's life spiraled into tragedy.
Hernandez was arrested in 2013 for the murder of Odin Lloyd and later convicted of first-degree murder. In 2017, he died by suicide in prison, with posthumous reports revealing that he had been suffering from Stage 3 Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)—a severe brain condition often linked to repeated head trauma.
Gronkowski, despite his usually lighthearted demeanor, admitted that the extent of Hernandez's darkness caught him off guard. 'I didn't see it going to the level that it went to,' he said. 'That was a surprise. It was a surprise to everyone because you would never expect anyone, especially in that position, to have it go to the level that it went to.'
He further acknowledged that while Hernandez did show signs of unpredictability, the depths of his troubles were largely hidden.
'I didn't know it was that bad. I knew that there was definitely some wild sides to him,' Gronkowski shared.
With multiple documentaries, including Netflix's Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez, casting a spotlight on the disgraced star's complex life, Gronkowski reflected on how Hernandez was portrayed. 'With everything coming out, there's some that I would say is true in the documentaries… there's some that's probably exaggerated a little bit.
But there's some that's not exaggerated at all, either.'
As a four-time Super Bowl champion and one of the NFL's most colorful personalities, Rob Gronkowski continues to captivate both on and off the field. His recollection of Hernandez—part amusement, part sadness—adds yet another layer to a story that continues to haunt the NFL and fascinate fans.
