Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski on the Raiders? According to UFC president Dana White, the history-altering team-up was nearly a reality entering the franchise’s first season in Las Vegas.
White made the startling revelation during an appearance on ESPN’s UFC 278 with The Gronks special on Saturday night. Gronkowski, who retired for a second time in June after returning from a one-year retirement in 2020, pushed White to tell the story of the time he gave Brady a recruiting pitch to join the Raiders and asked him to explain what went wrong.
