Brady & Gronk: One Last Ride? Fans Go Wild Over Viral Throw!
Could we be witnessing the dawn of a legendary comeback? Tom Brady, the ageless wonder, recently sent the internet into a frenzy with a playful tease about potentially returning to the NFL alongside his longtime teammate, Rob Gronkowski. The spark? A perfectly executed pass between the two during a FOX pregame show on Sunday, ahead of the Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl rematch.
Brady, now 48, posted on X (formerly Twitter), "One more year??!?!?" accompanied by a video of the throw and Gronk's signature spike. The clip quickly went viral, igniting speculation and excitement among fans who remember the duo's dominant run with both the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A Glimpse of the Past, A Hint of the Future?
While Brady's post seems to be in jest, the ease with which he delivered the pass and Gronkowski, at 36, hauled it in, suggests that both could still contribute at a high level. Brady last played in 2022, throwing for nearly 4,700 yards and 25 touchdowns for the Buccaneers. Gronkowski retired after the 2021 season, having recorded 55 receptions and six touchdowns in 12 games.
The Greatest Duo?
Brady and Gronkowski are widely considered one of the greatest quarterback-tight end duos in NFL history. Their connection was undeniable, resulting in 93 touchdowns and 9,275 receiving yards across 141 games. Whether in New England or Tampa Bay, they consistently delivered highlight-reel plays.
- Brady's Age: 48 years old.
- Gronkowski's Age: 36 years old.
- Last Season Played (Brady): 2022 (Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

Will Brady and Gronkowski actually return to the field? Only time will tell. But for now, fans can dream of witnessing one last chapter in their remarkable partnership.
