NFL icon Tom Brady has revealed that his son, Benjamin wants to follow in his footsteps; but would rather become a "tight end like Gronk [Rob Gronkowsk]" than a quarterback like his father. Brady spent 22 years in the NFL, winning seven Super Bowls and countless individual accolades on the way as arguably the greatest quarterback of all time. The 46-year-old's most success came during his 19 years at the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowls. Brady was joined by tight end Rob Gronkowski for eight years at the franchise, where the pair formed a formidable partnership. And his son would rather follow in Gronk's footsteps by starting his football career as a tight end. In total, Brady and Gronkowski won four Super Bowls together, three at the Patriots and one with Tampa Bay Buccaneers towards the end of their careers. The duo also won an impressive 78 percent of games while playing on the same team - 110 wins in 141 games. And while most sons of NFL legends want to grow up to emulate their father's careers, Brady's son has chosen a different idol. 'I'm always gonna love throwing that ball," Brady said on his SiriusXM podcast, 'Let's Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray'. "My son is gonna play football this year, Benny, so I've been throwing the ball to him in the backyard. And he wants to be a tight end like Gronk, and he's gonna be a little beast. He's an amazing kid and he's got a lot of talents. He's a really talented musician and artist. "And then he told me this year, 'Dad, I'm playing football.' And I was like, 'What do you wanna play?' And he was like, 'Tight end. I wanna be like Gronk!' So I actually texted Gronk and I'm like, 'Yo, my boy wants to be like you!' And he loved it." Benjamin, 13, is the eldest of Brady and his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen's two children. The co){kind=link}
