Tom Brady already has one of the best tight ends in NFL history on his team in Rob Gronkowski, but that hasn't stopped him from imagining how good LeBron James would be at the position.

After James posted an Instagram photo on Thursday of himself dunking, Brady made a pitch in the comments for the Los Angeles Lakers star to join him and Gronkowski on the New England Patriots.

Brady also named James as the NBA player he would most like to add to his team during Super Bowl Media Day in 2017.

James played wide receiver at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, earning all-state honors in his sophomore and junior years, and helping to lead the Fighting Irish to the state semifinals.
