May 24 (UPI) -- The NFL season is just something that happens for Rob Gronkowski in between WrestleMania and a budding music career. On Wednesday, he showed off the latter.

Gronkowski agreed to a restructured deal with the New England Patriots on Tuesday. His morphed pact with the Super Bowl champions could pay out as much as $10.75 million this season. He was originally due $4.25 million in 2017. He is still signed through 2019 and no changes were made to the final two years of his deal.

"Gronk" will cash in for the full amount of his salary if he plays in 90 percent of the Patriots' offensive plays, has 80 receptions, has 1,200 yards or is named an All-Pro. Gronkowski hasn't played a 16-game season in more than five years.

He looked spry enough in the video for 3LAU, posted Wednesday on YouTube.

Gronkowski made a cameo in the music video for a song titled: On My Mind, featuring Yeah Boy.

The video features a Gronk in a wet tank top during a bikini car wash. At one point he is sitting at a bar with a woman before getting distracted by a plate of sushi being carried by his WWE wrestler friend Mojo Rawley. The video then features "Gronk" shirtless and covered in sushi.

"Gronk" then gets a drink thrown in his face.

At the end of the video, "Gronk" wakes up on a trampoline. He proceeds to get into a massive pillow fight. He falls asleep again and is woken up while resting on the floor of the bar.

"This song is out on my label BLUME, which means all of the proceeds from streams & sales will go to charity," 3LAU wrote on YouTube. "Last year we raised $200,000 for Pencils of Promise, and 7 new schools will be built in South America from that fundraising by September 2017. Our next goal is to raise $30,000 for the ACLU, and this song will help contribute to that goal :) Once we've raised that, I wanna let you guys decide what charity we give to next! Much Love & Thanks for always supporting!"

Gronkowski also issued a statement on his appearance in the video, via NFL.com.

"3LAU played 'On My Mind' for me a couple days before the Super Bowl in Houston and asked if I wanted to be in the music video," Gronkowski said in a statement. "It ended up being a lot of fun to shoot and what makes it even better is that the money from the song is being donated. It's great when you can give back while still trying something new and having an unbelievable time."
