Gronkowski, who played college football in Arizona, was drafted by the Patriots in the second round in 2010.

Gronkowski, known as Gronk, has a larger than life personality and recently sang at a club with Red Sox star David Ortiz.

He wrote the 224-page book with one of his agents Jason Rosenhaus. The book is published by Simon & Schuster. The list price is $26.

In the book he discusses his relationship with Patriots coach Bill Belichick, his spending habits, his college days, his party life, his family, and traveling in the ‘Gronk Party Bus.’

Sports Illustrated recently published a book excerpt.

In it Gronkowski wrote “To this day, I still haven’t touched one dime of my signing bonus money or NFL contract money. I live off my marketing money and haven’t blown it on any big-money expensive cars, expensive jewelry or tattoos and still wear my favorite pair of jeans from high school.”

One of his marketing deals is with Dunkin’ Donuts. Ortiz and Gronkowski are featured in the latest Dunkin’ Donuts ad singing a song called ‘Sippin’.’

The announcement about his appearance does not say how long Gronkowski will be signing books or any other restrictions on the event.
