“Benny’s doing football,” she tells PEOPLE, revealing the teen is continuing with dadTom Brady’s tradition of wearing a number 12 on his jersey.

“I’m always gonna love throwing that ball,” Brady began. “My son is gonna play football this year, Benny, so I’ve been throwing the ball to him in the backyard.”
“And he wants to be a tight end like Gronk [Rob Gronkowski], and he’s gonna be a little beast. He’s an amazing kid and he’s got a lot of talents. He’s a really talented musician and artist.”
“And then he told me this year, ‘Dad, I’m playing football.’ And I was like, ‘What do you wanna play?’ And he was like, ‘Tight end. I wanna be like Gronk!’ " the former NFL player said.
