Gronk donates cleats to HS player, tells him to 'get chicks'
That Gronk is such a giver.
New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski was feeling charitable in early May as he had a pair of cleats that he wasn't using and took to Twitter to see if anyone wanted them.
If you are a high school football player and size 16 shoot me a mention and I'll ship ya some sick @nike cleats and shoes!

That's right, a size 16. You would think it would be tricky to find someone to fill those giant shoes, but that wasn't the case. It turns out a high-school football player from Massachusetts -- a junior tight end who wears the No. 87, no less -- was in the market for some new footwear.
@RobGronkowski @Nike I'm a Junior TE from MA who reps the 87 and wears size 16. Bless me with some shoes/cleats????

@RobGronkowski @Nike You gotta hook me up! Being a size 16 might actually pay off for once

And guess what? Gronk got right on it.

A short time later, the young man named Riley had his new cleats. And Gronk even signed them for him:
Thanks so much to my dude @RobGronkowski for hooking me up! #87 #PatsNation pic.twitter.com/DigJwE05O3

Secretly the best thing to come of this is Gronk's quote that he wrote on the signed shoes #StayHyped #GetChicks pic.twitter.com/p06C409oXU

Stay hyped! Get chicks! Yup, that definitely sounds like Gronk.
Epic.
