Home/NFL

Despite the recent announcement of Tom Brady retiring from the league, longtime teammate Rob Gronkowski is still under the impression that he might still return. Brady spent 22 remarkable years as an NFL quarterback and was in no shape to retire though being 44. Yet family time called him home.

His impressive legacy has influenced countless people, and his fans look up to the day when he finally gets his bust up on the Canton. However, that seems to be pretty far-fetched. Now that Brady’s closest buddy in the field has spelled out the GOAT’s possible plans, his Hall of Fame induction can wait for a few more years.

“The guy can play at any age,’’ Gronkowski told USA TODAY Sports on Friday. “If he’s 50 years old he can still come back. I think he’s going to come back but in a couple of years. The guy’s a beast. He can play anytime.’’

Take, for example, his last game. The Los Angeles Rams arguably have the best defense in the league, yet he was able to lead the crippled Bucs squad to a 24 point comeback. The game was tied at 27-27 when the Rams scored a game-winning field goal to advance to the NFC Championship.

Clearly, Tom Brady has a lot of football left in him, but the question is; will he make a return? Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already considering this option viable as they have their doors open for Brady. But will Gronks be able to convince Brady just as he did to Gronks two years ago?
