There is a chance that Rob Gronkowski will become a model in the near future. In a sit-down interview this week, the former New EnglandPatriots tight end said that he wants to model for Tom Brady.

Our friendship is very strong." I'm wearing his Brady brand underwear, I'm retired from football, I announced my second retirement in June.

He thinks he wants him to model. Modeling is one thing I haven't done. Like pictures there, but being a real model? I'm going to take pictures in my clothes and send them to him to see if he needs a model. He might be able to hire me. That would be wonderful.

Brady has multiple college athletes serving as NIL models on his Brady brand roster, including the son of a Hall of Fame player. Brady has posted photos and videos of himself wearing clothes.

In the past, Gronkowski has asked Brady to work out with him so he could get ready for a photo shoot.

Brady said that he didn't think he was in great shape. We didn't drop a ball. The ball was not on the ground. He was happy about it. It was perfect. It was what I needed. I'm feeling ripped now.

I asked @TomBrady about his favorite memory with @RobGronkowski and Rob taking back his Christmas gift this year. What ensued was a story about a GQ photoshoot and a hilarious Gronk impersonation. pic.twitter.com/trAZdcxsx4

He said he could look to his girlfriend, who has appeared in the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated, for pointers. She walked the runway for New York Fashion Week and had campaigns with several brands.

He's thinking of doing some fitness modeling and contributing to his dad's company.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do," he said. I can promote it and be a fitness model. I need to keep putting my foot in the water in the fitness industry and see if I can find other roles to help it out and increase my salary.
