“The Zip on His Ball Is Still There”: Rob Gronkowski Puts a Number to Tom Brady’s Years in the NFL

Defying all the setbacks and the age barriers, the Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady continues to thrive in the football arena. Although he loves to go day-by-day without revealing any plans, his all-time buddy Rob Gronkowski seems to have got numbers predicting Brady’s future in the NFL.

Ever since the quarterback announced his split with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, fans were convinced that Brady would continue to play the game. Moreover, recent speculations suggest a potential transition for the signal-caller signing with a new team next year. To spice up these rumors, Gronkowski spoke about all the possibilities.

Following the 2022 season, Tom Brady will hit free agency. According to the contract he signed with the Buccaneers, the management cannot put him under the franchise tag. As a result, the veteran can make a choice and find the right spot to jump on. Regardless of what happens, the former tight end believes the quarterback has got a lot more to show and would continue to play till 50 if he wants to.

His ability to throw and unwavering accuracy to connect with the receivers is mind-blowing. “I think he can definitely play if he wants to. You don’t really see him falling off at all.” Gronk said in a recent interview, per NESN.

“He’s top five in the league in passing yards. So that’s just incredible at age 45. The zip on his ball is still there. It’s still very powerful. He’s reaching his targets with every single throw.”
