Overview

• The statue was unveiled Friday before the Patriots’ preseason game against the Washington Commanders, marking the first bronze tribute to a former Patriot at Gillette Stadium.
• Standing 12 feet tall on a 17-foot pedestal, the sculpture references Brady’s jersey number and the 17 AFC East titles he helped secure.
• In his remarks, Brady pretended to take a call from former coach Bill Belichick who quipped that “there is still room for improvement.”
• He further joked that being frozen in place suits him given his well-known limitations in sprinting speed.
• The permanent installation commemorates Brady’s 20 seasons in New England and his six Super Bowl championships that defined an NFL dynasty.
