Is Rob Gronkowski skipping Tom Brady's unofficial retirement party? TB12's former teammate reveals his plans
Rob Gronkowski has been enjoying life since retiring from the NFL ahead of the 2022 season.
The former tight end was an analyst for FOX Sports and has been attending various festivities. One of his former teammates has now joined the retirement club - quarterback Tom Brady. Brady wanted to know if Gronkowski will be in attendance at the end-of-season party for Autograph.
Gronkowski replied to Brady's question on his Instagram story, replying that they dance instead of doing sprints. Needless to say, the former tight end will be in attendance at the party in March.
Rob Gronkowski played 11 seasons, nine of which were with the New England Patriots. He had four 1,000-yard seasons and five seasons with at least 10 touchdowns with the Patriots. He is the franchise's all-time leader in touchdowns (79) and second in yards (7,861).
In the playoffs, Gronkowski caught 81 passes for 1,163 yards and 12 touchdowns for New England. Many of these amazing numbers with the Patriots came with Tom Brady under center, forming one of the top duos of their era.
Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady: One of the best offensive duos in NFL history
Overall, Gronkowski has 107 touchdowns (92 regular season TDs and 15 playoff TDs). Of those, 105 came from Brady's arm, the most by a quarterback-tight end duo in NFL history. The pair have won four Super Bowls together, three with the Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2020 season.
Brady convinced the five-time Pro Bowler to come out of retirement to join the Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 season. Needless to say, it worked. With Brady set to join Fox Sports as an analyst in 2024, there is a chance that he and Rob Gronkowski will be teammates again.
