- Former teammates Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and Julian Edelman enjoyed a beach vacation together.
- The trio of New England Patriots legends played a bit of beach football together.
In last year's Best Picture nominee "Top Gun: Maverick" the iconic beach volleyball scene from the original film is replaced with a bit of beach football.
Tom Cruise's Pete "Maverick" Mitchell explains that the beach football game is meant to force his pilots in training to think about offense and defense at the same time. "Dogfight football," he calls it.
Filmgoers in the theatre understand that this is a throwaway line meant to flimsily justify the true purpose of the scene, which is getting Miles Teller and Glen Powell shirtless.
On a recent vacation in the Bahamas, another famous Tom — Brady, call-sign "GOAT" — was also playing with the boys; in this case, fellow Patriots retirees Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman.
The game was captured for Instagram posterity by Gronkowski's girlfriend, Camille Kostek.

Kostek captured several more memories from the trip and posted them to Instagram.
Gronk was having a good time too.
Danny Amendola was also in attendance, and his girlfriend, singer Jean Watts, shared some photos of the weekend away.
It wasn't all catching up with former teammates for Brady, though, who also posted some photos of his family enjoying the beach.
While all players in attendance are currently retired, if they keep on teasing "Top Gun," who knows if they'll wind up getting pulled in for one last job.
