Tom Brady was honored with a 12-foot statue at Gillette Stadium, where he delivered a heartfelt six-minute speech. He expressed overwhelming gratitude to the Patriots organization, his fans, and key figures in his career, acknowledging the emotional significance of the moment. Brady humorously reflected on the statue's timing, often associated with age, and recounted his journey from being drafted to becoming a symbol of the Patriots' dynasty. He thanked the Kraft family for their unwavering support and emphasized the personal connection he felt to the team and community.
" as [Robert Kraft] just said it perfectly - people will never forget how you made them feel. And right now, I feel extremely honored, deeply grateful, and if I'm being honest, kind of old."
" I'm also a little surprised, because usually they don't build statues until you're really old - like Vrabel and [Tedy] Bruschi. It's not every day you get a statue, at least not one like this."
