Our favorites athletes celebrate Father's Day on social media

Father’s Day is synonymous with sports. And this Sunday, athletes took to social media to wish dads all the best.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski’s dad has become something of a legend, with all of his large sons — but Gronk made sure to remind him who’s No. 1.

Happy Father’s Day to Papa Gronk from your #1 son!! Thanks for showing us the way, everything from the motivation & techniques to become better athletes as kids, to building your fitness business from the ground up, and the importance of living and enjoying life every day ? pic.twitter.com/JgE9vOn5vJ

His teammate, Bucs quarterback Tom Brady also took to Twitter, but shared something slightly more sentimental about his pops.

This picture was taken 6 years ago at a course we never could have dreamed of playing, Augusta National. Dreams really do come true! When I think of someone who would give anything in the world to make my dreams come true, it always comes back to you HFD pops! ❤️ always, your son pic.twitter.com/4D0CE6jBPj
