New England Patriots Tight End Rob Gronkowski took advantage of his rare Saturday off during Training Camp by spending the day in Newport, RI.

Gronkowski spent Saturday afternoon playing cornhole down on Waites Wharf at @ The Deck.

Gronkowski has apparently become fond of @ The Deck and The Landing, for the last several years he has spend a considerable amount of time at both establishments when off from training camp.

Gronkowski and the Patriots return to the Practice field tomorrow for an afternoon practice from 2:30pm – 4:45pm.
