Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have one of the most extraordinary friendships in the NFL. Both athletes have been together for almost the whole of their careers, all donned with multiple Super Bowl rings. However, this year, the TE’s situation looks rather interesting. His NFL career is hanging in the balance for the past few weeks. However, Gronk may contemplate running it back, but he has a condition.

Even though Gronk retired and became a wrestler in WWE, Tom Brady lured him out of retirement during his switch to the Buccaneers. Both athletes share great on-field chemistry together, and fans are well aware of their magic.
