Joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason, Brady may have turned the page, but not without taking one of his main characters along with.

Looking like a true Tampa Bay seafarer — or Spongebob Squarepants with his magic conch shell — Brady opened up the lungs and used the power of the conch to bring Gronk out of retirement and into a Buccaneers uniform.
“A little tired, but Gronk reporting,” Gronkowski said as he sprinted from out of the bush to greet his new-old QB.
And like any of Tampa Tom’s videos, social media had a field day:
