Only Rob Gronkowski could steal the spotlight away from the 2020 NFL draft, as news broke Tuesday afternoon that the New England Patriots had agreed to trade the tight end to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and reunite him with quarterback Tom Brady.

Former and current NFL players took to social media to express their surprise and analyze how Gronkowski will fit in with Bucs coach Bruce Arians and the rest of the offense. And, reaction to the former Patriots teammates joining forces again had several people, from celebrities to comedians, posting funny and inquisitive memes.
