FAB 5. SR’s Buc Shots

• GRUNTS FROM GRONK: It’s such a treat to be able to cover a living legend like new Bucs quarterback Tom Brady, who is the greatest QB of all-time with his nine Super Bowl appearances and six Super Bowl victories in his 20 years in New England. There is no doubt that Brady is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But it’s also great to be covering one of the best tight ends in league history with five-time Pro Bowler Rob Gronkowski. Like Brady, Gronkowski is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, too.

For those of you that haven’t gotten to see Gronk up close since Bucs training camp was closed to fans due to COVID-19 concerns, make sure you check out this Mic’d Up video from Buccaneers.com.

• GRONK’S BIG CATCH: Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski already loves living in Florida – the Sunshine State – after spending his entire NFL career in New England.
