Tom Brady throws Super Bowl trophy from one boat to another during parade

Best friends and longtime team-mates Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski did not head to Disney World after winning the Super Bowl, but they did the next best thing: Celebrated their huge win on a boat.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers players, who beat the Kansas City Chiefs in their team's own Florida stadium 31-9 on Monday (NZ time), were joined by their families at the Super Bowl's boat parade. In one photo, Brady holds his 8-year-old daughter Vivian Lake Brady with wife Gisele Bundchen.

Pegged as a “socially distant boat parade” by the official Buccaneers' website, other images from the event show cheerleaders in masks waving to onlookers. Brady turned up in a new boat reportedly worth over $US2 million.

In a video shared to Twitter, the quarterback can be seen throwing the Lombardi trophy to another boat on the water while in another, a smiling, laughing Brady is shown walking unsteadily after he leaves the boat.
