With media access severely hampered during the early stages of NFL training camp in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sometimes it falls in the lap of players to inform everyone how other players are looking at camp. Take Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski, for example, who dished on quarterback Tom Brady, a duo that has gotten to know one another well over their many seasons together.
“From my eyes, just looking at him, he looks refreshed,” Gronkowski said Thursday, via NBC Sports. “He looks ready to go. He looks ready to play every single day, and he's motivated every day.
“It's nice to see. The way he just goes out there and works, it gets everyone better. … It just elevates everyone's game when he's out there.”
Brady and Gronkowski are both entering their first season with the Buccaneers after the duo established their Hall of Fame legacy in New England. Taking accolades out of the equation, there's reason to wonder how Brady looks during camp, considering he enters the 2020 year at 43 years old.
A “ready to go” Brady sounds like a difficult proposition to counteract, considering that he has won double-digit games as a starting quarterback each season since 2009. Now, he has an allotment of offensive weapons in Gronkowski, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin, that far and away surpasses what he would have had if he had decided to remain with the Patriots.
The Brady-Gronkowski duo is set to begin it's Tampa Bay era Sept. 13 when they take on the New Orleans Saints.
