More than what Davante Adams meant to Aaron Rodgers or Tyreek Hill for Patrick Mahomes, the Rob Gronkowski-Tom Brady partnership is one of the most fascinating duos to watch in the NFL. The reason they can sustain the best QB-TE partnership is because of the humor they both possess. A prank call, which Gronk made to Brady in 2021, is evidence of it.

Coming off a Super Bowl victory and partying, it seemed Gronk decided to play a prank on his quarterback; and that was hilarious. Gronk chose the Facetime prank and ended up calling Brady. As soon as Brady received the call, Gronk made a smart move, saying that he was “busy right now” and asked to call him later. “Did I call you!?” Brady questioned, amusingly.

Meanwhile, the then 31-year-old didn’t let the excitement fade and went back and forth, claiming that Brady called him first.

Finally, Brady fell into the trap and kept on saying, “I’m confused!”. That’s when Gronk said that he was pulling his legs, and it was part of the #imbusyrightnow challenge. A social media prank that was viral at that time where people and celebrities call their relatives/friends and instantly tell them they are busy and ask them to call later.

The NFL’s best duo partnered for nine seasons with the New England Patriots before Gronkowski joined his buddy in Tampa Bay. During his appearance on the NFL Network in December last year, Gronkowski revealed that Brady and he don’t require any words to converse with each other. Their relationship grew to such an extent that Brady understands his intentions even before he thinks about it.

“Being together for so long… he claims when we’re throwing routes that he knows already what I’m thinking before I even know what I’m thinking,” Gronkowski said. “So I’m like, if that’s the case, we don’t have to say a single word to each other if he already knows what I’m thinking,” he added on the show.
