Would Tom Brady have achieved what he did without Rob Gronkowski? Since Gronk’s draft in 2010, he stood as a pillar of strength for the Patriots and the Bucs, while fighting alongside the football GOAT for 11 years. With 4 Super Bowl rings of his own, he’s still seen as one of the best tight ends in NFL history, even after retiring. Moreover, even though they’ve gone their separate ways since leaving the league, the dynamic duo still remains a hot topic.

Recently, two talented athletes took to social media to pay tribute to the original duo, drawing attention to their unbeatable partnership, while showing off their own. Impressed and moved by the gesture, Gronkowski shared the whole thing, blessing their day.

Canada’s Ottawa Women’s Football recently wrapped up their summer women’s league, and the Eagles emerged as the champions, undefeated throughout the season. Two of the impressive sporting talents from the team, Lai and Sylina recorded a video of them together, swaying their heads in harmony, while smilingly dancing to Diddy’s Bad Boy for Life. But it was the caption on the post that caught the attention of the 4x Super Bowl champ.

Lai shared the video on her page with a caption that said, “Brady and Gronk Vibes 4 Peat City champions with an undefeated season.” A heartfelt tribute to the football’s best duo, as Rob shared the video on his own story, penning a note that read, “Nice Work, keep it up champs“. This wonderful gesture left both the youngsters amazed, with one admitting she was freaking out and the other expressing that it had left her speechless.

Brady and Rob’s friendship remains no secret, with a decade-long tenure of sharing the gridiron and even keeping in touch following their retirement. During the 2021 season, the ruthless TE had only a few milestones to reach in order to land a staggering $1 million dollar in incentives. And guess what, he asked his good buddy Brady for help during the Panthers game. As the QB learned this issue, he refused to leave the field, despite having a huge lead in the points table.

Rob had already completed his receiving yards off a target of 85 yards, however, his 7-catch remained unfulfilled. So, in the last 7 minutes, Brady worked hard to help the TE get a reception. This catch would get him the last $500k he needed. To anyone’s surprise, he exactly did so in the remaining minutes, which left the entire NFL world in awe.

It’s not common to see teammate pairs like this anymore. That’s why it’s no surprise that the TE felt a bit nostalgic when he shared a video of these two youngsters. Despite going separate ways, both Brady and the TE are yet bound by the sport and will remain so for years to come.
