Interestingly enough, Rob Gronkowski revealed to ESPN that this reunion has been in the works for months. It all started during a workout session in March 2020, with Gronk confiding to Tom Brady, “‘Hey, I’m kinda getting that fire underneath me again.'” Obviously, that “kinda” eventually became a definitely.
In the same interview, Gronk also dished on his rapport with the California native. He explained, “You’ve seen it many times with many other players — they can switch teams, and they might not have the same chemistry as they’d have with one of their other quarterbacks. So we have a great chemistry out there. And every time we get together, it’s just like the old days.”
The adoration is mutual. In November 2019, the quarterback talked about Gronk on WEEI‘s Greg Hill Show, stating, “I am really good friends with Gronk. We have had a great relationship for 10 years.” Playing coy about his friend’s possible NFL return, he explained, “Just because things are reported doesn’t necessarily mean they are always true, just for the record… I don’t know. Those are conversations I am not privy to.”
And, just a few months later, everything changed. Brady seemingly became privy to those conversations, and Gronkowski announced his return to football.
