Gronk: 'I'm Rob Gronkowski, and this is my ballet lessons'

— -- Rob Gronkowski is a superior football player. The New England Patriots tight end is also a superior twerker (that's a thing). But, have you ever wondered how these talents translate to the ballet barre?

Well, thanks to GQ you don't have to.

Gronk, who was dubbed "the funnest guy in sports" as part of a cover story for the June edition of GQ Magazine, tested his skills in a lesson with principal soloist Nathalia Arja from Miami City ballet. 

"We wondered what Gronk we might have become has his dad handed him a ballet barre instead of bench press," GQ writes. "Could he have been the next great ballerina?"

The answer is a hard no. But his enthusiasm and self-confidence are unparalleled, so the video should not be left unseen:  

"Dang, I'm doing pretty good." Yeah, for a 6-foot-6 massive, man-force who has no idea what an arabesque is, he didn't do half bad.  

Gronk gonna Gronk.
