Former Patriots QB details how Gronk, Julian Edelman earned Tom Brady’s trust

If Tom Brady saw something in one of his Patriots teammates, he was sure to push them in an attempt to squeeze the most out of their talent.

Last month, Rob Gronkowski told Jason and Travis Kelce that it took him a while to understand why Brady was so hard on him.

Brady would make the 6-foot-6, 245-pound super-atheletic tight-end stay after practice every day. It got to the point where Gronkowski was grateful to see Brady’s kids after practice because he figured Brady would forget about the extra throwing sessions when he saw them.
