There are few quarterback/pass-catcher duos more connected to each other than Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. The two will forever be mentioned together when talking about the Patriots dynasty and as arguably the two best players of all-time at their respective positions.
Now, the two long-time teammates with both the Patriots and the Buccaneers are both working for NFL On FOX and were on location in Philadelphia for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game. During the pregame show, the pair hooked up for a pass completion, just like old times sake.
The duo hooked up 620 times for 9,275 yards and 93 touchdowns in the regular sesaon during nine seasons in New England and two in Tampa Bay, and 81 catches for 1,163 yards and 2 touchdowns in the postseason. Those are incredible numbers for a quarterback and tight end duo, especially in just 143 career games.
The two have long been known to be best friends, with Gronkowski living on Brady’s property in Tampa Bay for a time. And, on Sunday they were reunited. Gronkowski is a panelist on NFL On Fox and Brady is the analyst on their top broadcasting duo with Kevin Burkhardt on the play-by-play.
Typically, Gronk is in studio, but the NFL On FOX team was on location on Sunday. That meant that he and Brady got to hook up for another pass. Take a look.

The NFL was a lot more fun when Brady and Gronk were torching defenses, that’s for sure.
