Tom Brady conducted a 8 play 75 yard drive that ended in a touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski.
This was the first touchdown pass Tom Brady had thrown in the first quarter of a Super Bowl. What made his first touchdown even better is that it was to long time friend Rob Gronkowski. Not to mention that the touchdown pass helped the duo pass Joe Montana and Jerry Rice.
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski passed Montana and Rice for the most touchdowns by a quarterback and wide receiver duo in playoff history. The two friends have found the end zone together 13 times. In the second quarter they would push that number to 14.
When Tom Brady landed in Tampa Bay he recruited three NFL players to come join him. Ironically those three NFL players had huge games in Super Bowl LV. Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown, and Leonard Fournette were all recruited by the seven time champion.
