Rob Gronkowski kicking another $10 million Super Bowl field goal
From “Gronk Spike” to “Gronk Kick.”
And maybe this time, Gronk won’t miss.
Future Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski is back with another commercial ad series, “Kick of Destiny 2,” with FanDuel at the 2024 Super Bowl, The Post has learned.
It will be a set of four advertisements again, with the first debuting on wild card weekend.
The expectation is that Gronkowski will be kicking the field goal for FanDuel just before 6 p.m. ET on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 11, in a nearby Las Vegas field.
A FanDuel spokesperson tells The Post that last year’s kick was truly live despite having the look of a pre-recorded, heavily-produced segment.
This year, bettors on the sportsbook will enter a free-to-play prediction game of whether Gronkowski will make or miss the field goal.
If you correctly predict the outcome, you will get a share of the $10 million in free bets the company is dishing out.
The advertisement announcement comes after the 2023 Super Bowl commercial featured Gronkowski awkwardly missing the field goal, with FanDuel giving out the free bets regardless.
FanDuel’s 2024 installment features “Rocky” and “Happy Gilmore” star Carl Weathers in the commercial, with another guest appearance from WWE Superstar John Cena coming later on in the series.
Last year’s commercial also included ex-Patriots and Colts all-time great kicker Adam Vinatieri.
The first of the commercials is set in the desert, where Gronkowski is walking helplessly, thinking about the poor result from the previous year.
While self-loathing, Weathers picks him up to bring him back to reality, similar to how his Apollo Creed character did for Sylvestor Stillone’s Rocky Balboa in “Rocky III.”
Down in the dumps, Gronkowski looks to get back into fighting shape. And Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, Respect will play some role in the future, although it is unclear when he will debut
Cena has been a part-time performer for the WWE after being heavily featured for the better part of the 2000s and early 2010s.
After last year’s miss, Gronkowski blamed heavy winds in the Phoenix, Ariz. area as the main culprit.
“I am not one to make excuses, but if you were out here and felt this wind, you would know why I missed, and if there was no wind, it would’ve went right down the middle,” he said.
