Rob Gronkowski will be making a return to the football field for the Super Bowl, but not in the way you might think. After retiring from the NFL following the 2022 season, the dominant tight end is set to be teaming with FanDuel Sportsbook for a Super Bowl commercial that will allow bettors to win some money if he can make a live field goal.
The promo will allow FanDuel users to bet $5 on the Gronk kick, and if he buries it, $10 Million in free bets will be divided up among all the participants.

“Our first-ever Super Bowl commercial will be more than just a television spot – it will create a moment that will bring fans together, and give them something to collectively cheer for,” said FanDuel Executive Vice President of Marketing Andrew Sneyd in the press release. “It’s an unprecedented field goal attempt on live TV…so anything can happen.”

FanDuel’s “Kick of Destiny” promo is set to include some videos of Rob Gronkowski training with legendary kicker and Super Bowl hero, Adam Vinatieri throughout the postseason.
“Everyone knows that I love throwing myself into fun, love trying out new ideas,” Gronkowski told The Associated Press. “Obviously, I can catch a football… Why not try to kick a field goal? And on top of it, I was punt, pass and kick champion in the western New York region when I was growing up, as well. So I love kicking field goals. I used to practice all the time. This is an opportunity to help my fans out there to win $10 million in free bets, which is mind-blowing.”
It’s still unclear how long the kick will be, but it should serve bettors with a fun opportunity to get some action in mixed in with their other Super Bowl bets. FanDuel is currently offering a deal for Ohio bettors following the state’s launch to start the 2023 New Year. If you bet $5, you’ll receive $200 in bonus bets!
