Brady then airmailed a pass to his former New England Patriots teammate Rob Gronkowski in the crowd before they completed the second attempt.Earlier during the Upfront presentation, Gronkowski joked about his former coach Bill Belichick and the age gap between his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Upon mention of the year 1986 (the year FOX debuted), Gronkowski cracked: "Coach Belichick's girlfriend wasn't a winkle in anyone's eye."
