Rob Gronkowski is well mindful that Tom Brady can still play in the NFL if desired.

The 48-year-old Brady made headings when he stated throughout a recent interview with CNBC that he explored the idea of possibly making a return to the NFL. However, the league wasn't a big fan of it, with Brady being a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Brady just recently partnered with Gronkowski for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, where the seven-time Super Bowl champ showed that he still has it with a couple of great crisp passes throughout the day, consisting of one to Gronkowski on a two-point conversion.

"Tom looked extraordinary," Gronkowski informed Covers in an exclusive interview. "It looked like he's never missed a down in his life still to this day, being 48 years old. He's never missed a beat over the last three years he has actually removed.

"The guy is just a rival. He's an entertainer. He looked like he was 24 years of ages out there. If he played in the NFL right now-- which I swear he still could-- he's the just one that might at the age of 48, and he would be a top-10 quarterback."

Gronkowski, who won 4 titles along with Brady as one of the most dominant tight ends in history, presumes as to say that he thinks Brady could still play at a starter level until the age of 54.

"Hypothetically speaking, I would say till 54 years of ages," Gronkowski said. "This guy is simply different. He blew my mind. Over the last month, we were training together, and every time I was walking away amazed with his skill-set, his competitiveness, and just how his arm strength, his precision is all still there.

"He may have it for life. He may have it till like 80 years old. I have actually never ever seen a come-down with his athletic skills ever. This guy's just a device."

When asked exactly what it is that Brady does to remain in such good condition, said it's "everything," including his methods such as the TB12 method.

"He does everything right," Gronkowski told Covers. "I will attribute it to how disciplined he is, his methods also. They're wonderful methods, they work great. But on top of all that, he just has it. He was born like that. You do everything, but your body needs to be there, and he was blessed with always being ready to go. I appreciate it big-time forever."

Fanatics Flag Football Classic was 'astounding'

Gronkowski actually took pleasure in teaming up with Brady again for the flag football endeavor, recommending it felt simply like old times with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"It was an incredible experience," Gronkowski said. "You got ta thank (Fanatics CEO) Michael Rubin and Tom Brady for placing on an incredible screen. Just how quick it changed from Saudi Arabia to having it hosted in Los Angeles, and just how high-end it was, how they took care of the athletes, our family, and then just made it an amazing occasion. They did such an excellent job. They actually did. I value them having me out there.

"Unfortunate I got a little dented up, but I had a great very first drive. I went out there, had 3 catches on that very first drive, the two-point conversion. It appeared like Brady-to-Gronk was back as soon as again. Unfortunately, I needed to leave the video game at the end."

Gronkowski, who left the video game after the two-point conversion due to a hamstring injury, stated he most likely will not be playing once again until next year when the next flag football traditional game occurs.

"As of right now, I think there is a two-year agreement with the flag football video game," said Gronkowski. "So I think it's going to happen again next year. But as of today, there's no other showcases on my radar. I'm just attempting to recover up right now my guy and just be ready to choose the NFL season once again with the FOX household."

Next step for Drake Maye is preventing turnovers

The present New England Patriots-- with whom Gronkowski won 3 Super Bowls-- are heading in the ideal direction under young quarterback Drake Maye.

The Patriots just kipped down a surprising season, advancing to the Super Bowl a year after going 4-13. However, they came up short as they were soundly beat by the Seattle Seahawks, 29-13.

Maye ended up second in MVP ballot, leading the league in conclusion percentage and passer score.

As Maye gets ready for his 3rd season and to ideally lead the Patriots over the bulge for their first Super Bowl considering that 2018 (when Gronkowski was there), the tight end believes he just has to cut down somewhat on the turnovers as the something he requires to surpass.

Maye had 8 fumbles in 2025, the sixth-most of any quarterback.

"When his deep ball exists, his deep ball is actually there," Gronkowski said. "You saw it on screen throughout the whole season. What I truly liked about him and his improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 was that he discovered how to read a defense. He found out how to inspect it down in the scenarios when the circumstance exists, not to require your ball, but check it down and take five yards or 6 backyards per play, instead of requiring it in there.

"But I would say to secure the ball. He had the ball on the ground a lot. He had a great deal of fumbles. So you got ta safeguard that ball, since turnovers injure your group big time."

Travis Kelce's return is 'terrific for the video game'

Gronkowski is a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he's first qualified next year. He's a four-time All-Pro and led the league in getting goals in 2011.

Travis Kelce, a fellow tight end who got in around the same time duration as Gronkowski, just recently chose to return for a 14th season in the NFL. Kelce published 76 receptions for 851 receiving yards and five touchdowns last season, however his imminent marital relationship to global music star Taylor Swift had fueled retirement talk.

"Travis Kelce coming back, it simply proves how fantastic of a gamer that he is, how he looks after his body," Gronkowski told Covers. "His longevity in this game of football, specifically at the tight end position, is simply remarkable. I have absolutely nothing however excellent regard for Travis Kelce.

"It's fantastic for the video game that he's coming back. I'm sure it's excellent for Kansas City also. His leadership, his understanding out there on the field. I see him all the time, buddies with him. It's going to be terrific to see him out on the field when again. And like I said, I admire his longevity. It's incredible what he is still doing at such a high level."

When asked who is the very best tight end in today's video game, Gronkowski opts for George Kittle. The San Francisco 49ers tight end is still playing at a high level at the age of 32, having posted his seventh Pro Bowl campaign.

Kittle was limited to 11 games in 2025, his season ending with a torn Achilles in the Wild Card championship game versus the Philadelphia Eagles.

"I truly like what he does in the run video game, and I actually like what he carries out in the pass video game," Gronkowski said. "If George Kittle can remain healthy this year and come back at complete speed from the Achilles injury, with how dominant he is going versus defensive ends and how difficult he plays, he's the total bundle at the tight end position.
