Rob Gronkowskiis someone who likes to keep things simple — and having a Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate likeTom Bradymakes doing that so much easier.
While speaking with brothersEliandPeyton Manningon ESPN2, Gronkowski admitted he hasn’t had to study footage of opposing teams as Brady watches so much of it.
“I don’t watch film,” the 32-year-old tight end told the Mannings on theirMonday Night Footballalternate broadcast. “I do go up to Tom, because I know Tom watches like, I don’t know, 40 hours of film a week.”
“[I’ll ask], ‘Tom, who is covering me, and what type of coverages are they doing?’ I go, ‘That’s why I love playing with you Tom, you know everything,’ " Gronkowski added.
Of course, it also helps that Gronkowski and Brady have chemistry. The pair have now been teammates for two different franchises, beginning with the New England Patriots.

“So I don’t watch film,” he continued, before adding, “I do watch film when the team is showing it.”
So far, things seem to be working well for the Buccaneers coming off of their Super Bowl win in February.

This weekend, they’ll be facing the Los Angeles Rams, another team that is off to a great start to the season with a 2-0 record.
But, what most football fans may be looking forward to is the game on Oct. 3, when Brady and Gronkowski will be returning to New England to face their old team.
“Going back to Foxborough, it’s superb. The last time probably in my career,” Brady previously toldSirius XMsaid of the return. “There’s a lot to happen between now and then and obviously I know the challenge of beating a great team like that, great organization, great players, so many friends that are still on the team that were — and still are — my brothers. Unfortunately, we’re just going to be on different sides of the stadium this time around.”
