Rob Gronkowski, the former tight end for the New England Patriots, recently discussed Tom Brady's potential if he were to return to the NFL at age 48. Gronkowski stated that if Brady could play without the risk of being hit, he would likely be better than 20 current starting quarterbacks and easily rank within the top 12. This evaluation comes after Brady's illustrious 23-season career, during which he won four Super Bowls alongside Gronkowski. Despite speculation about a potential return, Brady's role as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders poses a significant barrier, as NFL policy prohibits players from owning stakes in teams. Brady confirmed his retirement status while expressing a desire to contribute to the Raiders' success in his current capacity. He recently showcased his skills during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, hinting at what he could bring to a team if he were to return.
