WASHINGTON, D.C (KTRK) -- Is Rob Gronkowski looking for a possible career after football?

The New England Patriots tight end interrupted the White House press briefing Wednesday, asking Press Secretary Sean Spicer if he needed some help.

Spicer declined, but Gronkowski asked again. Spicer then replied, "Maybe."

The surprise visit drew laughter from the crowd of journalists.

Gronkowski was visiting the White House with his team to celebrate their 2017 Super Bowl win.
