Speaking enthusiastically about his “man crush” on Brady, Gronkowski tells a passenger that he’s the quarterback’s “biggest fan ever” and hoped to meet him.

“Yeah, but he’s married, so he’s like, off-limits, you know,” his female passenger advised.
“I mean, I’m not trying to get with him,” Gronkowski replied. “I mean, I just want to meet him.”

They also discuss Brady’s new haircut, as well as what kind of body lotion the QB might use.

The 27-year-old tight end even mentions himself while talking to another passenger, saying: “What if you met Rob Gronkowski?”

“I have met him,” the passenger replies. “Yeah, he’s a great guy.”

At the end of each ride, Gronkowski reveals himself to his stunned but excited passengers, then spikes a football with them.
