Who are the Gronkowski brothers?

The brothers were born between 1983 and 1993 to former New Jersey Generals football player Gordon Gronkowski (Gordy Snr) and his ex-wife, Diane Walters. Except for Gordon Jr., born in Buffalo, New York, the other brothers were born in Amherst in the same state. While their father, Gordy Snr, pushed the boys into the world of sports, the family matriarch, Diane, handled the children's schooling.

As early as four, the boys began training under the patronage of the family patriarch in their makeshift basement gym. Although none of them played football before the seventh grade, they were good hockey and baseball players.

By the eighth grade, they could lift weights under the watchful eye of Gordon Senior. In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, the family patriarch revealed that their Amherst home featured a makeshift fitness centre with a multi-stack training machine, a pull-up bar and a bench press in the family basement.
