Gronk’s Theory on a Tom Brady Comeback
Will Tom Brady be back in a Bucs uniform next year? Rob Gronkowski told USA Today he doesn’t think it’ll happen. BUT he DOES think a comeback will happen “in a couple of years!”
Gronk thinks this whole Tom Brady retirement thing is just temporary. Gronk won 4 Super Bowl rings with the G.O.A.T. and he thinks Tom Brady will still be able to go at age 50, saying “This guy’s a beast. He can play anytime.” Hey if anyone knows what it’s like to want to come out of retirement, it’s Rob Gronkowski.
No word from Gronk yet on his own future plans with the Bucs or the NFL for that matter. He says he’s going to take time to think it all over. [Source: USA Today]
