If you thought hanging out with Justin Bieber was the most Gronk thing that Rob Gronkowski would do this week, you're wrong.
Gronk decided to change his number for New England's practice on Wednesday and in doing so, Gronk took his bro-ness to a level that no bro has never taken being a bro.
The Patriots aren't wearing numbers for practice, so Gronk grabbed some tape and gave himself a new number.
Players don't have numbers on their jerseys but Rob Gronkowski taped one on the back of his. His choice of number: 69.

Gronk walks out to practice in a blue shirt with white tape in "69" on his back. Swear on my life.

On the other hand, maybe Gronk is just celebrating this.
The #Patriots have now won 69 straight home games when leading at halftime.

Anyway, why aren't the Patriots wearing numbers on their practice jerseys? It's not clear, but it's possible someone forgot to pack the regular practice jerseys. The team is practicing in Southern California this week as they prepare to play San Diego on Sunday night.
