The New England Patriots don’t necessarily need the services of retired Rob Gronkowski, but it couldn’t hurt to throw a future Hall of Fame tight end into the mix.
In the meantime, though, Tom Brady is fine with keeping the comeback rumors a running joke for the 2019 Patriots season.
It happened again on Thursday.
Gronk’s brother and former NFL fullback Chris Gronkowski took to Twitter to announce a partnership with Brady’s TB12 and promote a shaker bottle. In the tweet, Chris posed for a photo alongside Gronk. It was all relatively boring and typical #brand Twitter. That was until Gronk mentioned Brady in his comment.
The Patriots quarterback just couldn’t resist.
Given how Brady’s commented tweet left out the context of Gronk’s own tweet, Brady managed to (maybe unintentionally) get Patriots fans excited about a possible on-field reunion. Until you actually clicked on Gronk’s tweet, all you could see is this:
That was enough to cause a mini-panic among Patriots fans.
It just wasn’t the reunion Patriots fans had hoped for.
