New England Patriots Unveil Tom Brady Bronze Statue at Gillette Stadium

The New England Patriots honored quarterback legend Tom Brady by unveiling a 12-foot bronze statue outside Gillette Stadium, commemorating his six Super Bowl victories with the team and his 20-year legacy. Brady expressed gratitude and humor during the ceremony, poking fun at former coach Bill Belichick and longtime rivals, the New York Jets, highlighting his dominant record against them. The statue, which sits on a base representing the six championships Brady won with the Patriots, has received mixed reactions from fans, with some criticizing its appearance and others praising it. Patriots owner Robert Kraft lauded Brady's fierce competitiveness and role in cementing the Patriots as the greatest NFL dynasty in history. Brady, who retired in 2023 as the most successful NFL player, has since joined FOX Sports. The statue makes Brady the first player in franchise history to be immortalized with a bronze statue at the stadium.
