Kick streamer Adin Ross attended the Fanatics Fest in New York City and tried his hand at playing football against New England Patriots veteran Tom Brady and former NFL player Rob Gronkowski who is popularly known as Gronk. The three met up with each other at the fest which is taking place in New York City from August 16-18.

Within a clip from the event, Adin Ross can be seen trying to pass by Gronkowski, who was blocking his way. As Ross made it through Gronkowski, Brady threw the ball toward Ross for him to catch. However, he could not keep up with the ball and it dropped to the ground.

Fans took to X to react to the interaction between the three, with many stating that Adin Ross should not have stopped after breaking Gronkowski's guard, and kept running toward the ball. On the other side, some believed Gronkowski was not putting adequate effort into the play.

X user @dubs_wrld30 remarked on Gronkowski's playing style with Ross, stating:

"Gronk def wasn’t trying."

Some talked about Ross' recent link-ups, including that with President-elect Donald Trump, which he broadcasted on Kick channel:

"Why is this guy meeting everyone." said @richwasted on X
"In a two-week span, adin ross has had a stream with donald trump and told tom brady that he threw a bad pass to him, bro is on a legendary run," wrote @chromeheartclub
"Adin should know to keep running," wrote @huncho_eth
"Playing Catch with Tom brady is a top 3 thing to do in life," wrote @royal_bobby24

What is Fanatics Fest?

Fanatics Fest is a three-day-long event that provides a platform for all major sports fans to meet with the renowned personalities of their favorite fields, all under one roof. The event includes panels with sports analysts and experts, meet-and-greets with celebrities, including athletes like Kevin Durant, actors such as Ben Stiller, and internet celebrity and boxer Jake Paul.

Fanatics Fest is being attended by YouTuber Darren "IShowSpeed" as well, who was listed as a special guest along with Adin Ross for the event. The two are supposed to be present for the first day's concluding sports show, 4th&1 Hosted by Cam Newton and Omari Collins.


Adin Ross recently announced that he had to take back a Rolex watch gifted to President-elect Donald Trump after political commentator and streamer Hasan "HasanAbi" pointed out that a gift of this value could possibly count as possible Federal Election Commission (FEC) rule violation.
