For college football players entering the draft, this weekend is one of the most important weekends of their lives as they continue to showcase their skills at the NFL combine.

For NFL players, however, now is the perfect time to kick back and relax or take a vacation before team activities start up again.

Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski has certainly taken advantage of his time off as he recently took a trip to Europe and made a stop in Barcelona.

While in Barcelona, Gronk showed off his soccer skills, took in a game and met a legend in Lionel Messi.

Aside from taking in Europe, Gronk also had some fun this offseason at the Daytona 500.

And of course, who could forget all the fun he had at the Patriots' Super Bowl parade.

Nobody does the offseason quite like Gronk.
