There's just no quit in these two
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have been close for quite some time, so the duo share plenty of memories.
But Brady seems to favor a particular story.
The veteran quarterback recalled a time when Gronk was preparing for a photoshoot with “GQ” magazine. But he wasn’t pleased with his physical shape at the time, so he gave Brady a jingle and asked if the veteran quarterback would workout with him.
They even went out to a soggy baseball field in the middle of April just to practice, as Brady recalled. And despite going months without playing, Brady said he and Gronk connected on “probably 60 passes” and “didn’t drop a ball.”
Brady gave his best impression of the situation Thursday during a video conference call with reporters.
“He was like ‘Dude! That was great! That was perfect! That was just what I needed! I feel ripped now,'” he told reporters Thursday via video conference call, per the team. “And he was ready for his photoshoot because of one day of the two of us working out together.
“It was good execution, but I think for him, it was more important that he felt like he was shredded now that he’s getting ready for his GQ photoshoot.”
Now that’s the Brady-Gronk combo we know and love.
