“Playing on the field”: Former teammates Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman take jabs at Tom Brady, stir fan reactions

Send Push
In the world of sports, few friendships have stood the test of time and fame like the one between Tom Brady , Rob Gronkowski , and Julian Edelman . However, fans recently raised eyebrows after seeing Gronk and Edelman seemingly poke fun at their former quarterback. On the surface, it might look like they’ve turned their backs on Brady but a deeper look reveals it’s just the latest chapter in their unique brotherhood.

Friendly rivalry continues off the field, highlighting the unique chemistry between the NFL stars
The two ex-Patriots have always shared a playful dynamic with Tom Brady. Now that the trio has stepped off the field and into the media spotlight, their banter has become a public spectacle.


In a surprising yet stylish twist, former NFL stars Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, and Peyton Manning teamed up for a Tiffany & Co. campaign, blending luxury with locker-room legacy.


While the campaign itself sparkled with elegance, it was Edelman’s cheeky caption that stole the spotlight, proving that even in tailored suits, the old jokes still linger.

"Playing on the field. Sorry, Tom Brady," he wrote.

Whether it’s Gronk mocking Brady’s transition into broadcasting or Edelman roasting his old teammate’s social media selfies, there’s an unmistakable undertone of love and loyalty behind the jabs.

Gronkowski’s blunt comments about Brady’s on-air performance might’ve sounded harsh to outsiders, but longtime fans know this is how these three legends motivate one another.

Gronk has often said Brady thrives under pressure and sometimes, that pressure comes from those closest to him. Edelman, no stranger to Brady’s intensity, joined in the teasing, echoing that Brady performs best when he’s got a chip on his shoulder.


There’s also an element of role reversal at play. For years, Brady was the commanding leader, pushing Gronk and Edelman to be their best, even if it meant being brutally honest.

Now, off the field, the tables have turned. The younger duo is playfully challenging the GOAT in his new ventures, showing that respect among champions doesn’t always come with a straight face.

At its core, this isn’t betrayal, it’s brotherhood. Gronk and Edelman haven’t turned on Brady, they’re cheering him on in their own mischievous way.
