Generally when New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is seen chugging a beverage, it tends to be of the “adult variety”, especially when it comes to duck boat parades.

Yet on Wednesday this week, Gronkowski made his chugging skills more “kid friendly” when he attended a charity event at a middle school in Western Massachusetts and the students starting cheering “chug it” while he was casually drinking a water bottle on stage.

Embracing the cheer, Gronkowski finished off the water and promptly spiked it to the ground as the kids went wild with excitement.

Visited all the kids at Sheffield Elementary today and it was fantastic. The best part is the Q&A with the kids and one of them asked "what's your favorite ice cream?" I answered with cookies & cream and the kids stared going so wild over it and jumping up and down all over cookies & cream answer. The best. Still can't believe they raised more that $17k for @buzzforkids! Way to go!
