Former Buc Rob Gronkowkski shares his thoughts on Tom Brady as a broadcaster
Former Bucs Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady came to Tampa Bay with chips on their shoulders and something to prove. After some growing pains with their new team, they found momentum and it led to them securing a Super Bowl victory.
Fast-forward a couple of years, and both men are embarking on media careers. Gronkowski recently spoke to On3 and shared his thoughts on his former quarterback and how he is doing in his new role.
'He's doing an excellent job and I'm so proud of him. He has definitely improved as well since his first couple games, which is understandable. I mean, it's such a tough job to do, there's so much pressure on you. You never called a game ever, for that long in your life, to be up in that booth and break down plays like that."
Gronkowski also had his fair share of struggles starting in his media career. In recent years, however, he has shown that he meshes better over time with his Fox NFL Sunday co-hosts and analysts. The future Hall of Fame tight end knows that will happen with Brady as well.
'But you get better as you go on, and that's all… I expect nothing less from Tom Brady as well, to get better, because he loves to practice good habits, he loves to get better, he'll do anything it takes to get better," Gronkowski said. "And just to see his improvement from week one to where he is in the playoffs now, is just tremendous, didn't expect anything less. And he's doing such a great job in the playoffs, it's like he's a veteran now.'
Brady will be coming off calling the Super Bowl in February when the league starts broadcasting games in the preseason. If Tom Brady has shown us anything, time is his friend both on and off the field, that includes his broadcasting career.
