Would Tom Brady have achieved what he did without Rob Gronkowski? Since Gronk’s draft in 2010, he stood as a pillar of strength for the Patriots and the Bucs, while fighting alongside the football GOAT for 11 years. With 4 Super Bowl rings of his own, he’s still seen as one of the best tight ends in NFL history, even after retiring. Moreover, even though they’ve gone their separate ways since leaving the league, the dynamic duo still remains a hot topic.

As Rob fondly recalls his old memories with his teammate, it’s clear he had a wonderful connection with the football GOAT, much like these rising stars tried to show.

Tom Brady once pulled an insane stunt for Rob

Brady and Rob’s friendship remains no secret, with a decade-long tenure of sharing the gridiron and even keeping in touch following their retirement. During the 2021 season, the ruthless TE had only a few milestones to reach in order to land a staggering $1 million dollar in incentives. And guess what, he asked his good buddy Brady for help during the Panthers game. As the QB learned this issue, he refused to leave the field, despite having a huge lead in the points table.

Rob had already completed his receiving yards off a target of 85 yards, however, his 7-catch remained unfulfilled. So, in the last 7 minutes, Brady worked hard to help the TE get a reception. This catch would get him the last $500k he needed. To anyone’s surprise, he exactly did so in the remaining minutes, which left the entire NFL world in awe.
