Tom Brady reacts to Rob Gronkowski’s retirement: ‘Love u man!!’

Rob Gronkowski’s NFL career came to an official end Sunday when he announced his retirement on Instagram.

The three-time Super Bowl champ finished his career with 79 TDs as he and Tom Brady teamed up to be a dominant duo during his career.

While he didn’t score in the Patriots’ Super Bowl win over the Los Angeles Rams last month, he did have a big catch that led to the only touchdown of the game.

It’s an end of an era in New England as the fan-favorite will no longer catching balls from Brady.

The QB reacted to the news with this comment on Gronk’s Instagram post:

Brady and Gronk had a lot of fun together.

There was this great exchange between Gronk and Brady’s daughter at the Super Bowl parade last month:

And now, it’s all over for Gronk, who’s battled a number of injuries during his career.
