Tom Brady’s legendary career
Tom Brady’s career with the Patriots has been legendary. Selected 199th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft, Brady defied expectations as a sixth-round pick to become a significant part of the NFL dynasty.
Over 18 seasons as a starter, he led the Patriots to six Super Bowl championships and 17 division titles, cementing the team’s status as perennial contenders.
“Tom Brady transformed the Patriots into a dynasty,” said Robert Kraft during last year’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where he first announced plans for the statue.
Details about the statue
The 12-foot statue is more than a tribute; it’s a testament to Brady’s impact on the Patriots and the sport. From his improbable rise to his record-breaking achievements, Brady’s tenure in Foxborough remains one of the most dominant runs in NFL history.
The statue, strategically placed near the Patriots Hall of Fame, will serve as a lasting reminder of his contributions and an inspiration for future generations of players and fans.
The unveiling of Tom Brady’s statue is a celebration of excellence, resilience, and legacy. As the Patriots honour their greatest player, fans are invited to reflect on the moments that made Brady a legend and look forward to his continued influence on the game.
