Tom Brady Posts Training Photos with Rob Gronkowski Ahead of Fanatics Flag Football Classic

Tom Brady is taking his upcoming return to football seriously based on the training photos he has released.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion posted images of himself working with Rob Gronkowski as they prepare to take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.

Brady was the headline player in the five-on-five flag football tournament when the event was originally announced in September. He will be joined by several current and former NFL stars, including Gronkowski, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby.

This will mark Brady's first competitive football game since he retired in February 2023. He is one of the most accomplished athletes in any sport from the 21st century with seven Super Bowls, five Super Bowl MVP awards and three traditional MVP awards.

Gronkowski, who played with Brady for each of his 11 seasons in the NFL, will be back on the field for the first time since his retirement in June 2022.

The event will feature three teams playing each other in a round-robin format, with the top two teams squaring off advancing to the championship game.

Kyle Shanahan, Sean Payton and Pete Carroll will serve as head coaches for the three teams.

The Fanatics Football Classic will be take place on March 21 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
