Friendship formed on the football field is a relationship that goes a long way. When two individuals are ready to put their bodies on the line for another, it is a bond that is tough to break. And that is exactly the type of relationship that exists between former New England Patriots legends Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are one of the most iconic duos in NFL history. The quarterback and tight end formed a dangerous duel that ruled over the history books for over a decade and created the powerhouse that other teams were frightened to face under Bill Belichick.
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski won a remarkable four Super Bowl rings together. This just goes on to show the type of dominance they displayed. While Brady was with the New England Patriots since 2000, Rob Gronkowski came in later in 2010. They formed a great friendship, and their chemistry on the field was a reflection of that.
They still remain great friends and are in constant touch with each other. “The last time I talked to him was actually yesterday. He sent me a clip of our playoff touchdowns, and he wrote to me, ‘Bro. No one’s done it like us’”, said Rob Gronkowski in a recent interview.
Fans became emotional after knowing that this dynamic duo was still in contact. It also shows that Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski cherish their old times together and want to reminisce about them again. However, sometimes the two of them may not have the same view on things, and that is exactly what happened when Tom Brady preferred some other players over Rob.
Rob Gronkowski demands to know from Tom Brady why he is not on the latter’s team
Chad Johnson recently appeared on an episode of Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli Manning. They were discussing the prospect of a current vs. former player matchup. Johnson was all up for it and immediately named Tom Brady as his quarterback.
Tom Brady, in response to this, wrote on ‘X’ that with today’s rules, it will be a piece of cake given wide receivers Chad Johnson and Randy Moss are on his side. Rob Gronkowski has taken offense to this and was very surprised that Tom Brady did not name him!

Rob Gronkowski demanded to know why Tom Brady did not name him while making his dream team. While appearing on Fox News Digital, Gronkowski questioned Brady’s comments and reminded Brady that he had recently retired and still has plenty of gas left in him. He also spoke about the exclusion of wide receiver Julian Edelman, who played alongside them.
“Why did Tom leave me out?” Gronkowski said. “He named Randy Moss, and Tom left me out?! I’m recently retired, Tom, and you’re keeping me out of there. That’s some BS. What about Julian [Edelman]? What about the guys that grinded with you forever, my man?”
Before fans started to get worried about the two of them, Rob Gronkowski said this in a teasing tone! It is just some good-natured humor between two pals who leave to pull each other’s legs apart. Rest assured, if Tom Brady is ever asked to assemble his dream team, it is well known that Rob Gronkowski will be the first on the list.
