White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer couldn’t keep a straight face when New England Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski visited his press briefing on Wednesday.

Gronkowski was at the White House with several members of the Patriots’ organization to be honored for the team’s Super Bowl LI win.

After entering the White House briefing room, Gronkowski asked Spicer if the press secretary needed any help to which Spicer responded, “I think I got this, but thank you.” The Patriots’ tight end left giving a thumbs up to Spicer.

After Gronkowski left the room, Spicer laughed and said, “Alright, that was cool.”

Gronkowski finished the 2016 season with 25 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns after being absent for several games due to injury.
