"The New England Patriots turned over a new leaf under Mike Vrabel, and the other most important factor in their renaissance is their young emerging superstar quarterback, Drake Maye. That hasn't slipped the attention of one of the Patriots' "other GOATS", Rob Gronkowski, who trolled his famous teammate Tom Brady, saying his new favorite quarterback is Maye."
"It's all in good fun, of course, and all three had a great time enjoying the prank. Since his retirement, the jovial Gronk has become a broadcast celebrity of sorts, and his popularity hasn't fallen much from his days as the best tight end ever on the planet. Gronkowski's trademark monster three-step spikes after a touchdown added to his popularity. He was secure in his status as the top tight end in the NFL and wasn't shy about displaying his confidence. Yet, spikes notwithstanding, the ever-humble Gronk was never one to pound his chest or mouth off by saying he was the best. He didn't have to; the entire football world knew it anyway."
"Gronk's pranking Brady alongside Drake Maye was a classic take For anyone to say they have a replacement as the Patriots' favorite quarterback would be laughable, but in this case, it was literally laughable, aka funny. The monster tight-ends' easy-going manner and general likability disarmed even the best of the best, Tom Brady, who played along in perfect stride."
The New England Patriots have renewed momentum under coach Mike Vrabel and rising quarterback Drake Maye. Rob Gronkowski playfully trolled Tom Brady by calling Maye his new favorite quarterback, and all involved enjoyed the prank. Gronkowski has remained a popular figure since retiring, growing into a broadcast personality while retaining his on-field legacy marked by trademark touchdown spikes. Gronkowski's easy-going likability and humility coexist with confident play and wide respect across the league. The interaction showcased the lighter side of sports and highlighted positive personal reputations alongside on-field excellence.
