Rob Gronkowski gives Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes advice for spiking a football

This week, Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski.

In his interview with Easton Jr., Gronkowski discussed his partnership on behalf of Bounty and offered some touchdown celebration spiking advice to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The Chiefs’ AFC Championship victory over the Buffalo Bills featured several great plays from Mahomes and a comical flub on his celebratory touchdown spike in the endzone. The moment was viral enough to lead the reigning Super Bowl MVP to address it on social media.

Gronkowski, known for his iconic touchdown spikes in the end zone, offered helpful advice on Mahomes’ attempt.

“[Mahomes should] definitely use a Bounty Paper Towel to wipe up that mess he created with that run spike,” Gronkowski suggested. “He needed to have a better grip on the ball because to get some power, you got to wind up. He wound up, but he didn’t have a good grip on the ball, maybe due to his hand being freezing cold, so he couldn’t really grip it how he wanted to grip it because you have to have a better grip on the ball than when you’re throwing it as well to spike it. So warm those hands up and just squeeze that ball harder. Next time, squeeze those balls harder before you spike it.”
