New England Patriots did not witness just numerous Super Bowl wins, but they were also fortunate enough to be spectators of one of the finest friendships on the NFL grounds. Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski remain one of the most phenomenal QB-TE duo, after years of their retirement. While they have ventured into other pursuits, they continue to foster the special bond by doing what most friends do, roasting each other.

While the iconic duo has staggering statistics, it’s not the only thing that defines them. The plethora of pre and post-game rituals assumed the role of their alter identities, where the one hugging Tom Brady after a touchdown has to be the TE Gronk.

Tom Brady continues to blossom his friendship

Tom Brady interviewed his old friend Gronk in his “Let’s Go!” podcast, all while passing quirky remarks about how they developed their special bond in the first place. “Maybe a month ago, he really tried to befriend the backup quarterback because Tom, in his first preseason game, didn’t even know my name, which is complete Bu*****t. My boy Robbie G out here on national TV town a bunch of white little lies,” said Brady. What could Gronk do to such a hilarious comment than to laugh? So he did laugh, a hearty one while tipping his head back.

Although, this was not the first time these two shared a glimpse of their daily banters on the TV. In 2021, the buddies starred in a T-Mobile commercial, the spotlight of which allegedly sowed the seeds of retirement in the minds of the two. Along with this, the two are often found having each other’s back, when the other lands in some controversy, like Gronk rescuing Brady out of the ‘Thirst trap‘ assumptions that went viral the last month. However, their time on the field is still one to look back on.

With a yardage of  7,786 yards and 78 touchdowns, Neil Greenberg from the Washington Post called Brady-Gronk ‘The best-passing combos of the past decade’. The duo was wary of the effect their partnership had on any team, or Super Bowl for that matter.
