Dream duo reunited: Gronkowski to Brady in Tampa

In the video with the music of “Bad boys for life” Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are just grinning, it's not current but still an expression of joy about a real NFL hammer. When it became clear on Tuesday (local time) that the soon-to-be 31-year-old tight end Gronkowski would return from retirement after just over a year and, like quarterback superstar Brady, would play American football for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the future, Brady posted the short one old clip on his Instagram story. He didn't have to do anything else, because it was clear: the reunion of one of the best player duos in NFL history is entirely in his spirit and a real coup. The feeling is back "I'm back. I've always said that when I get the feeling and it feels right, I'm ready to get back on the field. And I have that feeling. “I’m ready,” Fox Sports quoted the almost two-meter-tall colossus as saying. The Buccaneers welcomed Brady's buddy with a lengthy article full of impressive stats and a big "Welcome to Tampa Bay, Gronk!" on their club homepage.

In the text, the Bucs confirmed that, in addition to Gronkowski, they would also have access to the seventh round of the upcoming draft. In return, the Patriots will receive access to the fourth round of the transfer rights exchange, which begins on Thursday.

On paper, the Buccaneers have one of the best offensive formations in the NFL. In addition to six-time Super Bowl champion Brady, who changed clubs for the first time in his professional career a few weeks ago, Gronkowski and the two star receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are also in the squad. Betting providers adjusted their odds for a possible Super Bowl victory for the Buccaneers immediately after the first reports of the surprise. A blind understanding It is unclear when Brady and Gronkwoski will be able to train together in the new colors for the first time in view of the Corona crisis and the club grounds being closed as a result. The two shouldn't have any problems with coordination. Both have only played for the New England Patriots and won the Super Bowl three times in their nine years there together. According to ESPN, Gronkowski caught 78 of Brady's touchdown passes, more than twice as many as any other player. Only five couples in NFL history have scored more touchdowns together.

Gronkowski ended his career after the 2018/2019 season, was most recently active as a wrestler and even won a WWE title. To what extent this could be reconciled with his comeback was initially unclear.
