Former NFL star tight end Rob Gronkowski has revealed his unexpected choice for the winner of Super Bowl 58.
Contrary to popular predictions, Gronkowski did not select any of his former teams, the New England Patriots or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Nor did he opt for the established heavyweights like the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals, or Philadelphia Eagles.
During an exclusive interview with Kay Adams on FanDuel’s “Up & Adams” program, the four-time Super Bowl champion confidently placed his bet on the Dallas Cowboys to emerge victorious in Super Bowl 58, set to take place in Sin City next February.
Gronkowski’s rationale for his unexpected choice was clear: “I’m going to go with the Dallas Cowboys… They added Brandin Cooks at the wide receiver position… he’ll be a great complement to CeeDee Lamb. And also, they added Stephon Gilmore… he was Defensive Player of the Year a couple of years ago.”
“I think he’s going to make a great comeback this year and play at a high level… I feel this is the year they just, you know, get over that edge.”
"The ____ are Super Bowl Champions!"

The Dallas Cowboys have secured back-to-back 12-win seasons. However, the team’s struggles during the playoffs in the 21st century are well-documented, with their last appearance in the NFC Championship Game dating back to the 1995 season – coincidentally the same year they last clinched a Super Bowl victory.
Gronkowski’s assessment highlighted the key acquisitions of Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore, both of whom bolstered an already deep Dallas roster.
The Cowboys, on paper, possess a wealth of talent capable of securing a Super Bowl championship. The challenge that remains is to overcome the postseason barrier that has eluded them for so long.
What do you think of Gronk’s prediction?
Will the Cowboys win the Super Bowl?!?
