Former NFL player Rob Gronkowski has officially signed with WWE and the big question is as to how he's going to be utilized. Given his star power, one would imagine that the company will put him in a big spot right away.

According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Gronkowski is going to work a Brock Lesnar-like schedule:

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

So Gronkowski has a deal there. He's going to be on the show on 20th in New Orleans if there is a show on 20th in New Orleans. It could be somewhere else for all we know but he's going to be on the SmackDown side and he's going to be working some dates. It's probably a Lesnar type schedule. So, he's in.

While we're not against Gronkowski for working out a great deal, the only reason we hope this isn't true is that we feel he isn't deserving of the Lesnar schedule just yet. Even a megastar such as Ronda Rousey worked close to a full-time schedule in her year-long stint in WWE and Gronkowski should be made to work more dates to prove his place in the company.
