Trash talking is one area of football that Tom Brady doesn't excel at, according to teammate Rob Gronkowski.

The New England Patriots tight end was asked to rank Brady's trash-talking skills during a press conference Wednesday and gave his teammate a failing grade.

"One out of 10," Gronkowski said.

When asked why Brady is such a bad trash talker, Gronkowski explained, "He's focused always. He gets going sometimes out on the field, I've seen him. Depending on the game, depending on the situation, where he is compared to the defensive players. He hands off the ball, he's 10 yards back, so it's not like he can really get after it. I would say usually on his QB sneaks is when he talks trash if he does."

Gronkowski was recently subject of trash talk from Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who called him overrated in an interview with ESPN's Mina Kimes.

"I mean, if that's how he feels, that's how he feels," Gronkowski said. "It's a big game this Sunday, we're playing them. I'm sure I'm going to have opportunities to go versus him. I'm sure he's going to have opportunities to go versus me. I'm just preparing like I always prepare. I've got to just do my job out on the field, just worry about that."
