Rob Gronkowski has been banged up a lot throughout his five years in the NFL, and if he ever gets sick of it, perhaps a career as a stripper awaits him.

The tight end is known as a party animal, as evidenced by his nonstop celebrations after the Patriots won the Super Bowl last year. The same could be said about his college life as Gronkowski revealed he "accidentally" became a male stripper during his days in school.

"Well, my boy in college used to talk about how he'd do these bachelorette parties," Gronkowski said on 'Conan.' "And I'm like, 'whoa, that's pretty sweet, it's pretty cool.'"

So as the story goes, the four-time Pro Bowler went along with his friend during one of his gigs. His costume of choice? A security guy.

Gronkowski said he had no intentions of shedding his layers, but "every lady there" was giving him shots and he became a random participant.

"It worked out perfect," he said. "There was like 35 women around in a circle, the next thing you know, I was feeling good and they started cheering for me."

Gronkowski then revealed that he stripped down to his boxers and was doling out lap dances to the ladies, something that would make most women swoon over him.

While a career as a stripper could suit the partying play-maker, he is currently signed to a six-year deal that guarantees him over $12 million, and his first endeavor wasn't quite that fiscally successful.

"I made like 25 bucks," he said.

Sorry ladies, it's unlikely he'll be making that career move anytime soon.
