Gronkowski first worked with Fox during his initial retirement from playing during the 2019 NFL season. He ultimately returned to the NFL, where he won his fourth Super Bowl with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before announcing his second retirement in 2022.

Brady, as part of Fox’s top broadcasting team with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi, will have the call for the Week 1 clash between the Commanders and Giants on Sept. 7, Fox Sports’ press release Friday also revealed.

Fox NFL Sunday has its replacement for the retired Jimmy Johnson, and it’s a larger-than-life former All-Pro.
