Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have made a name for themselves. As professional football players, there’s no doubt that the duo has reached the pinnacle of their athletic abilities. By giving it their all on the field, both Brady and Gronkowski have pushed past the general belief that age is a roadblock to enhancing their physical abilities. His recent Instagram update speaks for itself.

While Brady continues to play in the league, Gronk has been making waves in other sports, apart from football. Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport in the United States and the former tight end takes it quite seriously. Gronk also said that he could beat Eli Manning, who also plays the sport. Manning may have beaten Gronk in a Super Bowl showdown but the tight end is quite confident in his pickleball abilities.
Rob Gronkowski channeled his inner “Jordan”
Recently, Gronkowski posted a picture of himself alongside YouTuber Danny Duncan. The duo is pictured playing an intense game of pickleball. Gronkowski is captured a few feet off the ground, ready to strike.
Fans online remarked on the former tight end’s athletic abilities.

One user remarked on Gronk’s form by commenting, “Beast mode”
Another user is astounded by the former tight end’s vertical, “Dang bro you can jump!!”
A fan remarked, “That’s gotta be the highest anyone’s ever jumped while playing pickleball”
This user is stunned beyond belief, “Is this real?”
One desperate NFL fan makes a plea, “need u back on (sic) tampa”
This fan makes an observation, “Puts the physics of football players in perspective”
Another fan exclaimed, “please come back to the @buccaneers. You can be on the field in Redzone situations only, part-time work”
This fan makes a funny remark, “Thought I was looking at Jordan for a second.”
The NFL world seems to be set on bringing Gronkowski out of retirement for the third time. But from the looks of it, the TE is having the time of his life outside football.

Can fans expect a Gronk-Brady reunion?
Rob Gronkowski is younger than Brady by more than a decade. At 33 years old the tight end has announced his retirement twice. But after his stint with the Buccaneers, Gronk seems to be keen on enjoying life after retirement. Meanwhile, his friend and former teammate TB12 is going strong at 45 years of age. In his 23rd season with the league, Brady is still going strong.
Despite hitting a few roadblocks this year, Tom Brady is still in pursuit of another Super Bowl title. The former title holders look nowhere close to their previous form. The Bucs could definitely benefit from more offensive firepower with someone like Gronkowski. Will Gronk ever consider coming back to the Buccaneers or Brady? While Bucs fans will be hopeful of such a situation, that answer will come with time.
