New England Patriots to unveil Tom Brady statue before preseason game on Aug. 8

The New England Patriots will honor Tom Brady with a statue at Gillette Stadium on August 8, prior to their preseason game against the Washington Commanders. Brady, who spent 20 of his 23 NFL seasons with the Patriots, is celebrated for his unparalleled career achievements, including winning seven Super Bowls, five Super Bowl MVPs, and setting numerous league records. Drafted 199th overall in 2000, Brady transformed the Patriots into a dominant dynasty, earning nine AFC championships and 17 AFC East titles. His legacy includes being the league's all-time leader in wins, passing yards, and touchdowns. The Patriots Hall of Fame expedited his induction, waiving the typical waiting period, and honored him in June 2024.
