Tom Brady heaps praise on Rob Gronkowski following his retirement
Rob Gronkowski came back from his retirement in 2020 after Tom Brady persuaded him to do so and the duo won a fourth Superbowl together with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unfortunately they could not repeat the same in 2021 and fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC divisional playoffs.
Following his retirement, Tom Brady has released a statement on Rob Gronkowski and has said that he was blessed to have Gronkowski in the same locker room. Brady went on to say that Gronkowski embodied the phrase leaving it all in the field.
“Teammate, friend, brother, just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of Gronk,” Brady said. “Nobody has ever embodied the idea of ‘leaving it all out on the field’ like Rob has throughout his entire career. Every single snap, I knew that no matter how many people you put in front of him, he was going to get to his spot.”
“Even more important is the person he was off the field. Focused when he had to be, and FUN the rest of the time. Having Gronk in your locker room was every NFL player’s dream. I’m proud of all that we’ve accomplished together, and even more excited for all you have ahead of you. Congrats Gronk, you deserve it.”
