Rob Gronkowski will return to the field in 2020 to join Tom Brady and the revamped Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ending his one-year retirement in his quest to help Brady secure ring number seven.
Brady, himself, is already celebrating the trade that brought his friend and former teammate to the bay, while New England fans will just have to re-watch highlights of Gronk and Brady’s glory years together with the Pats. And there were plenty of them.
Gronk has not only caught the most touchdown passes from Brady, but his last reception from the future Hall of Fame quarterback was perhaps the biggest of the tight end’s career.
In Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams, in a close (and somewhat boring) game, Brady and the Pats were looking to score late in the fourth quarter to break a 3-3 tie with the Rams. Brady needed a big play, and dialed up a call for his tight end. Gronk snagged a 29-yard reception while fighting off defenders that helped set up a two-yard Sony Michel rushing touchdown on the very next play. The Patriots would go on to win 13-3.
Take a look back at that big moment.
.@RobGronkowski didn't let two defenders stop him in #SBLIII from making one of the biggest plays of his career.
