"It’ll take them a decade": Rob Gronkowski makes bold claim about countries preparing for Olympic flag football

In a shocking turn of events, football has found a new home in the Olympics. The sport is the pride and joy of America. Leagues like the NFL and XFL are considered some of the most physically demanding competitions for athletes. Recently, NFL legend Rob Gronkowski gave his thoughts on how other countries may react to facing the USA in the Olympics.

Speaking in the most recent edition of the "Dudes on Dudes" podcast, Gronk opened up about how it's going to take at least a decade for other teams to even compete with Team USA.

"It's going to take at least a decade, because it's going to put them on the high alert, like, 'All motherf**king Americans, whooping our a**.' It's from any other country in this world besides America. There's every country combined, 'These motherf**king Americans.

"'This guy not even a real quarterback in the NFL, and he's whooping our a*s. He's throwing five touchdowns against our Olympic flag football team. They absolutely dominated.'"

He added that the other countries might establish football camps for their players instead of sending them to the military:

"And then they're gonna be like, 'Oh sh*t.' Like, 'How about we start having football camps in Germany, how about Australia put some football camps, the Chinese.' They're going to have, instead of sending their guys to military, they're going to be sending them to flag football camps, just so they can compete with us Americans at the Olympics.

Rob Gronkowski gave his thoughts on the New England Patriots QB

Despite hanging up his helmet three years ago, Rob Gronkowski still keeps a close eye on the sport, especially his former team, the New England Patriots. Speaking in a previous edition of the aforementioned podcast, Gronk stated that the Pats QB, Drake Maye, is not a top 5 candidate yet.

"Drake Maye is a great quarterback, has a good team around him now," Gronkowski said. "I can see him being a top 5 candidate for MVP in the future. Maybe year three, four, five or something along those lines. But he's not gonna be a top 5 candidate this year."

It'll be interesting to see if Rob Gronkowski's prediction about Maye comes true in the upcoming season.
