Tom Brady considers it a dream to have Rob Gronkowski as a partner | The USA Newspaper

Sports Writing, (EFE).- The considered best player in the history of the NFL, Tom Brady, described as a dream to have been a teammate of the tight end Rob Gronkowski, who a few hours before announced his retirement from American football.
“Having Gronk in the locker room was a dream and it was for every player in the NFL. I am proud of everything we have achieved together and excited for everything that lies ahead, ”was the message that Brady dedicated to ‘Gronk’ in his networks.
At 33 years old, Gronkowski announced his goodbye to football on Tuesday after playing 11 seasons alongside Brady whom he accompanied in the New England Patriots between 2010 and 2018, and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and 2021.
In his last season, the tight end had 55 receptions for 802 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games.
The friendship between the two was so strong that at the request of Brady, ‘Gronk’, who had announced his retirement at the end of the 2018 season, returned to activity to play with Tampa Bay alongside the quarterback to win the last of his four Super Bowls.
The top winner of NFL championships, with seven, said goodbye to the tight end with a message that was accompanied by a photograph in which the two appear about to crash their helmets in celebration during a Bucs game.
“Teammate, friend, brother, those are just some of the words that come to mind when I think of ‘Gronk.’ Nobody has ever embodied the idea of ​​leaving it all on the field, as Rob has done throughout his career, “added the passer.
Alongside Tom Brady, Gronkowski won Super Bowl XLIX, LI and LIII with the New England Patriots and LV with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In his 11-year career, the offensive player accumulated 621 receptions, 9,286 yards and 92 touchdowns, earned five Pro Bowl selections and four NFL championships that give him a secure place in the league’s Hall of Fame.
Brady, who last week still had hopes of having his friend for the 2022 season, ended his message with recognition for Gronkowski and his performance on the field, as well as for his character.
“Every play we ran I knew no matter how many defenders he had in front of him he would get to his spot. Even more important is the person who went off the field; fun all the time. Congratulations Gronk, you deserve it”, expressed the passer.
