Earlier this month, New England Patriots tight end and Las Vegas pool party incarnate Rob Gronkowski offered to give away a few pairs of his size 16 cleats and sneakers on Twitter.
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!

One Twitter fan put forth the perfect argument to win Gronk’s footwear. After all, how could Gronk say no to a kid from Massachusetts who wears the number 87?

A few days later, the cleats and sneakers found their way to their new home.

And while getting four pairs of kicks for free is a great gesture, Gronkowski topped it all off with some sage and perfectly Gronk-like advice for his fan:
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
