Along with the pictures of Gronkowski in a Bucs uniform, the team also of the tight end's reaction to seeing his jersey for the first time a few weeks ago, where he noted that he would use them as his Mother's Day gift. While many believe that it was Tom Brady who mainly pried Gronkowski out of retirement, the tight end did reveal on "The Ellen Show" back in late-May that who was the driving force to his NFL return and specifically to the Buccaneers. "You know, everyone keeps asking me, 'Did Tom (Brady) get you to Tampa?' Well, of course it didn't hurt that Tom went to Tampa, you know, and the opportunity to go to Tampa was there too," he said. "But you know, Tom was like the appetizer, and then there's a few other reasons. I love the weather, but the main course, the main reason why I came down to Tampa to play is because my mother lives two hours away."She can get to all the games, all eight of our home games. Whenever I have days off, she's two hours down the street and I get to see her. So she's super excited."The last time we saw Gronkowski on a football field, it did appear like he had lost a step, but was still productive. He caught 47 balls from Tom Brady in 2018 for 682 yards and three touchdowns over 13 regular-season games. In the playoffs that year, Gronkowski added 13 receptions and 191 receiving yards, which included a 29-yard reception in Super Bowl LIII to set up the game's lone touchdown. After a year off to allow his body to heal, it will be interesting to see how much magic Gronkowski can rekindle in 2020.Neverthele s, he'll look pretty good trying. Michael Lorenzen Jersey |
