It seems the Call of Duty has snagged Rob Gronkowski. There are several moments in life where missing a call would be a death sentence. You should never miss the Call of Destiny, the Call of Nature Call from the IRS, and the world-shattering Mother-in-law Call. Former American tight end Gronkowski played in the NFL for an astonishing 11 seasons.
Nine are with the New England Patriots, and two are with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is a four-time Super Bowl champion and five-time Pro Bowl with a four-time position in the All-Pro section. Not only did this 6 foot 6, 265-pound killer battle it out on the field, but loved to combat anything in the Call of Duty universe.
Gronk Answers The Call
In a recent post on TikTok, Gronkowski added his perspective on how therapeutic it is to take out endless numbers of zombies. Nicknamed “Gronk,” he has been known as a long-time gamer in the life of sports as well as on the video game scene.
Call of Duty was originally launched in 2003 and has grown since then, with the latest addition, Black Ops 6, released on October 25th, 2024. A year ago, it sold over 500 million copies and had over 100 million monthly active players on platforms. Two years ago, it also generated over $30 billion in revenue.
Battle It Out With An NFL Star
With each new entry, Call of Duty offers casual play with unique multiplayer action. It is like stepping into a Quentin Tarantino film with a dash of Michael Haneke and George Romero on top. There is no reservation about the type of opportunities Call of Duty offers. Most feel they hit the jackpot by doing the impossible while playing first-person shooting characters.
Part of the thrill is the fact that a major NFL star has something in common with the rest of us. No matter how slim, the chance is that you may be taking out Vermin, Manglers, and Amalgam in a team that could have Gronk. Finding that we have something in common with someone as prominent is fascinating. In the video, he states that getting lost in a video game is the best. Imagine, are you getting lost with him saving the world?
Der Riese And Zombies
Gronk shares with us how he holds the game as a stress release and loves Der Riese and Zombies with the opportunity it has to keep them out of trouble. Other celebrities who have been caught in the Call of Duty snares comprise David Harewood, Sam Worthington, and Danny Trejo.
The Der Riese Gronk so enjoys is the fourth map in the Zombies game mode. It’s the final map in the Call of Duty: World at War. The setting is in Group 935’s main base known as Waffenfabrik Der Riese in Lower Silesia Near Breslau Germany. The Ultimis crew returned to the Der Riese facility from the Rising Sun facility in 1945. With his diary, Richtofen plans to use the teleporter to return to the moon and confront Samantha, a little girl in the M.P.D., whom Richtofen knew from his past. Upon arriving, they must face limitless hordes of the undead as they continue their journey.
The Zombie offers a purely focused on the Round-Based Zombies action coming to the game. The following Intel Barrage features extensive comms directly from the Treyarch Zombies Team. It includes a detailed gameplay overview and a deep dive into all the pre-game preparations you can undertake, full details on what to expect when you’re engaging hordes of undead during a match, and a terrifying look at the dark bestiary of the undead currently haunting Terminus Island.
Gronk On The Team
No matter how you slice it, those who take the opportunity to play Call of Duty may find the same release that Gonk does. Who knows the next time you need help with endless hordes of zombies surrounding you, Gonk may be coming to the rescue. On the other hand, you may be the one saving him.
