Rob Gronkowski and Camille Kostek Enjoy Pickleball With a Bucs Player Who Once Left Tom Brady Fuming

Rob Gronkowski has been seemingly enjoying his retirement. The former Bucs tight end, who enjoyed a successful career in the league, retired quite early compared to some of his teammates. However, it doesn’t seem like moving away from the NFL has been less than exciting. The former TE has been making waves in the pickleball world- a sport that has taken the country by storm.

With many big names taking a keen interest in the sport, the hype surrounding pickleball has considerably grown. As a huge pickleball enthusiast, Gronk is often seen indulging in the sport. Most recently, his girlfriend, model Camille Kostek posted an update featuring the TE, alongside a former teammate. And this particular Bucs player, at one point, was not on NFL legend Tom Brady’s list of favorite people. Here’s a look at Kostek’s update and the history behind this Bucs star’s relationship with Brady.

Rob Gronkowski partnered with one WR who didn’t bring out the best reaction from Tom Brady

Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has always been relatively calm on the field. Playing alongside Rob Gronkowski, the duo established a dynasty with the Patriots and brought success to the Buccaneers. However, the QB’s time with the Bucs wasn’t the smoothest journey. While Brady exhibited a couple of outbursts on the field, there was one moment that stood out. Footage captured what looked like the QB mouthing, “F***ing trash” directed at WR Scottie Miller after the latter missed a catch. While that altercation is old news now, the WR was recently spotted with Rob Gronkowski.

Camille Kostek took to Instagram to share a video of Gronk and Miller. The duo looked like they were partnered for a doubles pickleball game. As the players shook hands on the court, Kostek inquired, “Who won?” Gronk responded by saying, “It doesn’t matter who won.” While the TE and Miller exchanged a hug, Kostek deadpanned, “Alright so you guys lost,” while the TE continued mumbling in the background.

He also added, “We all got better.” From the looks of it, retirement has not dulled the former TE’s love for physical activities. While Gronk may have found a new passion after leaving the game, how is the situation with his friend and ex-teammate Tom Brady?
