Former NFL star Rob Gronkowski chose not to spend any of his NFL contract money during his career. He saved it and invested it...
quote:

“I guess you could say, Spider-Man said this, with great power comes great responsibility,” Love said. “In this instance, with a lot of money becomes a lot of trust, a lot of responsibility. So, with them putting that much trust in me, I think I have a duty to give them a return on their investment, because at the end of the day, it’s an investment. They’re investing in me as a player and they pick the running back as a third pick in the NFL draft, which hasn’t happened for a long time.

“So, with great power comes a great responsibility. I’m going to make sure that I do right by them and do right by myself because, at the end of the day, I want to do the best that I can. I hold myself to a certain standard. So, I’m coming into this league ready to compete, ready to dominate and, shoot, do what I got to do to make this organization look good and make myself look good. So, I take their trust in me very seriously and I’m going to make sure I give them return on their investment.”

Is the text about Jeremiyah Love but the link to Gronk? I’m confused

You're not the only one who is confused.

Does anyone review Larry's posts before they are put up?

I forget who it is but somebody was drafted very high in 1st round and they took the signing bonus and invested the whole thing in the NFL retirement fund. So at 55 they will have 90 million off a 30 million dollar investment. I think it was Barkley RB in Philadelphia.

$90 million after 30years on an initial investment of $30m is not good. Should be over $400k.

very smart but few players probably do this. It only takes a little self control to invest and have a large income stream for a lifetime, and your kids' lifetime.

Of course he comes off as a meathead jock and he plays up to it but he has made some incredibly smart marketing and money decisions.

Rob has no wife and no children. That would wipe his fortune out once his wife got tired of being married. He does have a “long term” partner. Sounds like a good way to keep his money.
