What did Frito-Lay see as the common thread linking Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch and Troy Polamalu?
Football? Sure. Super Bowl champions? Definitely: Polamalu with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006 and 2009, Lynch with the Seattle Seahawks in 2014 and Gronkowski with the New England Patriots in 2015, 2017 and 2019 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.
Faded glory? That’s a subjective opinion. Gronkowski and Lynch haven’t turned 40, yet and Polamalu’s 42, but in National Football League terms, simply stepping away from the game adds some grey to a player’s beard and some haze to the memories of their greatest triumphs.
