Getty Rob Gronkowski

New England Patriots All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski has landed himself another magazine cover, this time it’s for GQ.

Gronk will appear on the June 2016 cover of the men’s fashion and style magazine with model Hailey Clauson, who has been on quite a few mag fronts herself.

It was also revealed on Wednesday that Gronkowski would be on the cover of the Madden NFL 2017.

Quite a day for Gronk.

Here’s what you need to know about the two:


1. Gronkowski & Clauson Did a Photoshoot in Miami

GQ writer Devin Friedman went to Miami with Gronkowski which included, according to GQ, “hanging with Gronk-bros Mojo and Goon, talking about signature sex moves, dealing with a sea of expectant fans, and mastering the tao of Party Rock.”

Gronkowski was joined by model Hailey Clauson for a photoshoot, as well. Those pictures will appear in the story.

The issue comes out next week.



2. Gronkowski Has Been on Multiple Magazine Covers

Gronk is no stranger to the spotlight.

Whether it’s on a TV interview, scoring a touchdown for the Patriots or being filmed dancing at a party, he draws attention.

So it only makes sense the magazines come calling.

Prior to QC, Gronkowski has also been on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Muscle and Fitness and ESPN the Magazine on two occasions.



3. Clauson Has Been Modeling Since 2009

Clauson, a 21-year-old from Thousand Oaks, California, began modeling in 2009 when she signed at an open casting call by the Ford Agency.

She was only 14, but began appearing in catalogs like Forever 21 and Jags Jeans almost immediately.

The 5-foot-11 blue-eyed blonde was named one of the top newcomers in 2011 by MODELS.com.



4. Clauson Appeared on 1 of 3 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Covers in 2016

Clauson appeared on one of three Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers in 2016. The other two went to UFC star Ronda Rousey and model Ashley Graham.

Since joining Next Models in 2011, Clauson has appeared in many ads, including campaigns for Mavi Jeans, Gucci, Dsquared2, Jill Stuart, Topshop, Zara, Moussy and Plein Sud.

She also was in Jay-Zs video for “Empire State of Mind.”



5. Gronk Has Endorsements With Monster Energy

Just last month, Gronkowski teamed with Monster Energy to release his own beverage. Fittingly, it’s called “Gronk.” It will be distributed by Coca-Cola.

In his 2015 book “It’s Good to be Gronk,” the Pro Bowler says he hasn’t spent a dime of his NFL contract money, just what he’s made on endorsements.

According to Spotrac, Gronk has made over $31 million in contract money in his six seasons.

Quite a nest egg.
