The Patriots unveiled a 12-foot bronze statue of Tom Brady outside Gillette Stadium, honoring 20 years of his contributions. The statue, designed by Jeff Buccacio, depicts Brady with one arm raised and the other holding his helmet, with a total height of 17 feet symbolizing his 17 AFC East crowns. The pedestal commemorates the six Super Bowl titles he won. Patriots owner Robert Kraft praised Brady's journey from a low draft pick to a legendary quarterback, emphasizing his impact on the franchise and the legacy he leaves behind.
"Tom Brady's journey proves that it's not where you start, but where you finish that counts. His NFL journey ascended from the 199th overall selection to the greatest of all time. He demanded excellence of himself and made everyone around him better."
"Tom wasn't just the face of our franchise; he was the heartbeat. It's hard to overstate what Tom accomplished. He didn't just rewrite the record books, he practically authored a new volume. This statue ensures his legacy will be preserved for generations to come."
