Overview

• The Patriots will debut a 12-foot bronze statue of Tom Brady before Friday’s preseason game against the Washington Commanders at Gillette Stadium.
• Robert Kraft said the monument stayed in storage for over a year due to conflicts with Brady’s new role as a Fox Sports broadcaster.
• Space constraints limit in-person attendance, but the unveiling will be simulcast on stadium videoboards for fans inside Gillette.
• Positioned alone in the Hall of Fame plaza, the statue is meant to symbolize Brady’s standing as the greatest player in NFL history.
• Only Kraft has viewed the completed work and both he and Brady are expected to speak during the short unveiling ceremony.
