From “Gronk Spike” to “Gronk Kick”.
And maybe this time, Gronk won't miss it.
Future Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski will return with FanDuel in another commercial ad series, “Kicks of Destiny 2,” at the 2024 Super Bowl, The Post has learned.
This will also be a set of four ads, with the first ad debuting during Wildcard weekend.
Gronkowski is expected to kick a field goal for FanDuel at the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 11, just before 6 p.m. ET on a field near Las Vegas.
A FanDuel spokesperson told the Post that last year's Kick was truly live, even though it looked like a pre-recorded, heavily produced segment.
This year, sportsbook bettors will be participating in a free-to-play prediction game on whether Gronkowski will make or miss a field goal.
If you predict the outcome correctly, you will receive a portion of the $10 million in free bets offered by the company.
The ad announcement comes after a 2023 Super Bowl commercial featured Gronkowski awkwardly missing a field goal, and FanDuel offered a free bet nonetheless.
FanDuel's 2024 offering will feature “Rocky” and “Happy Gilmore” star Carl Weathers in commercials, and WWE Superstar John Cena will also guest star later in the series.
Last year's commercial also featured former Patriots and Colts all-time great kicker Adam Vinatieri.
The first commercial is set in the desert, with Gronkowski walking helplessly, thinking about his bad results from the previous year.

Despite feeling self-loathing, Weathers picks him up to bring him back to reality. That's what Apollo Creed's character did to Sylvester Stilone's Rocky Balboa in Rocky III.
Gronkowski, who has been on the back foot, appears to be returning to fighting form.And Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect will likely play some role in the future, although it's unclear when they will debut.
Cena has been a part-time performer for WWE after gaining significant attention for most of the 2000s and early 2010s.
After last year's failure, Gronkowski blamed high winds in the Phoenix, Arizona, area as the main culprit.
“I'm not one to make excuses, but if you were here and felt this wind, you'd understand why I made a mistake. If it wasn't for the wind, I would have ended up somewhere in the middle. ” he said.
