Time is one of the biggest enemies of almost every player as they have to take advantage of every minute they can use to leave a legacy. The New England Patriots were aware of this situation in this century and they became one of the most dominant teams in the NFL with Tom Brady as their quarterback, but now one of his favorite targets is retiring after 13 impressive seasons in the league.
Tom Brady entered the league in 2000 with the 199th pick of the NFL Draft. Since then, the quarterback became one of the greatest players of all time by winning six rings with the Patriots. Then, in 2020he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won another Vince Lombardi trophy proving that he can do it in another team despite the names around him.
Regarding that last topic, there were a lot of wide receivers, tight ends and running backs that caught Tom Brady’s passes throughout his career. In the Patriots, Rob Gronkowski was one of his best friends and now the TE has retired from the NFL. But he is not the only one that has already said goodbye to football and now one of his favorite targets has joined Gronk with his decision.
