Rob Gronkowski apparently has no regrets about retirement.

The future Hall of Famer spoke to reporters Sunday and said any talks of him coming out of retirement can be "put to rest."

"Oh man! Whatever I say, it doesn't matter. It will always be crazy out there, but you can put them to rest," Gronkowski said at the One Mission Buzz Off for Kids with Cancer event at Gillette Stadium. "I'm feeling good. [In a] good place. It's great to be back here."

Gronkowski, 30, retired in March after nine NFL seasons. He made the Pro Bowl five times and was a four-time All-Pro but dealt with a consistent rash of injuries that ultimately led to him walking away. After playing all 16 games in each of his first two seasons, Gronkowski failed to do so again in his final seven.

Despite the injuries and Gronkowski's burgeoning fame outside of football, there was a natural speculation that he would return to football. Even agent Drew Rosenhaus said he would not be surprised if Gronk came out of retirement.

"If the team was struggling or they needed him at some point next year, and let's just say hypothetically Tom Brady gave him a call and said 'Rob, I need you.' I wouldn't be shocked if he came back to play a few games," Rosenhaus said on ESPN's Get Up in March.

While Rosenhaus' scenario has not necessarily been ruled out, Gronk seems to be enjoying life away from football. He's made numerous appearances across television platforms, done charity work and continued his all-around Gronkness.

With a ton of money in the bank and a long future ahead of him, it's hard to blame Gronkowski if we never see him on a football field again.
