Tom Brady, the NFL legend who recently retired from his illustrious career, may not be the only member of his family entering the world of football.
Brady revealed that his son, Ben, is eager to start playing the game and has drawn inspiration from one of Brady’s former teammates.
During his Let’s Go! podcast with Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray, Brady shared via People.com, “My son is gonna play football this year, Benny, so I’ve been throwing the ball to him in the backyard. He wants to be a tight end like Gronk, and he’s gonna be a little beast.”

In aspiring to be like Rob Gronkowski, Brady’s son has chosen a notable role model. Gronkowski, a future Hall of Famer and arguably the greatest tight end to ever play the position, shares the unique experience of catching passes from Tom Brady, much like young Ben.
Brady expressed that Gronkowski was excited to hear that Ben wanted to emulate him on the football field.
He recounted, “And then he told me this year, ‘Dad, I’m playing football.’
And I was like, ‘What do you wanna play?’ And he was like, ‘Tight end. I wanna be like Gronk!’ So I actually texted Gronk and I’m like, ‘Yo, my boy wants to be like you!’ And he loved it.”
Brady’s Son is a Chip off the old Gronk block.
