The NFL GOAT announced his retirement for the second time in his career on February 1. Tom Brady ended his illustrious career, which spanned 23 years. He made many unforgettable memories with his teammates of the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But no one can match the equation that TB12 had with the legendary four-time Super Bowl tight end. Hence, to discuss their memorable times together, Rob Gronkowski took the NFL fans down memory lane.
Gronk and Brady started playing together in the Patriots. The tight end joined New England’s squad in 2009. He won three Super Bowl rings there. Then, in 2019, he retire his first retirement because, according to him, he had taken too many hits while playing in the league. But in June 2022, he retired again and left his friend to his own aid. Therefore, after the elite shot-caller lost in the NFL Wild Card Round, he announced his retirement.

The 33-year-old TE uploaded a humorous and touching tribute to his friend. Then, when he appeared on the ‘Up and Adams’ show on Thursday, he recounted the most precious memory he had made with Tampa Tom.
Even though there are many pictures of them that have crazy and interesting stories behind them, one stood out for him. It was when the Pats went against the Indianapolis Colts in 2014.
Tommy, since I already wrote you a long retirement message last year, this time I shall say, welcome to the 2x retired club.
You’re a legend and you always will be, my friend ♥️🏉 @TomBrady pic.twitter.com/88oWYvQtdo

Although the Super Bowl games hold a special place in his heart, this moment will forever be his favorite. He explained that in the fourth, Brady threw him an out-route. He made a 360 and turned it up the field. Many players missed the call. He eventually flipped into the end zone. And when he was celebrating in the end zone, an unknown player rushed across the field to jump on his back.
“I was like, ‘Dude, Tom, that was you who jumped on my back?’ Just because in that moment there’s so much going on. It was just so cool to see that picture. It was my favorite picture of all-time that we have together.”
