"Gronk def wasn’t trying": Fans react to Adin Ross playing football with Tom Brady and Gronk at Fanatics Fest
Kick streamer Adin Ross attended the Fanatics Fest in New York City and tried his hand at playing football against New England Patriots veteran Tom Brady and former NFL player Rob Gronkowski who is popularly known as Gronk. The three met up with each other at the fest which is taking place in New York City from August 16-18.
Within a clip from the event, Adin Ross can be seen trying to pass by Gronkowski, who was blocking his way. As Ross made it through Gronkowski, Brady threw the ball toward Ross for him to catch. However, he could not keep up with the ball and it dropped to the ground.
Fans took to X to react to the interaction between the three, with many stating that Adin Ross should not have stopped after breaking Gronkowski's guard, and kept running toward the ball. On the other side, some believed Gronkowski was not putting adequate effort into the play.
X user @dubs_wrld30 remarked on Gronkowski's playing style with Ross, stating:
"Gronk def wasn’t trying."
Some talked about Ross' recent link-ups, including that with President-elect Donald Trump, which he broadcasted on Kick channel:
