The New England Patriots immortalized their all-time greatest player on Friday.
Tom Brady, who was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame and had his No. 12 jersey retired by the team last June, received yet another honor by way of a 12-foot statue — a nod to that retired number — being unveiled at One Patriot Place.
It’s about as spectacular as you would expect…
Brady’s statue is a bronze depiction of… well, nothing super descript, but it looks great.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft shared some specific details about the statue, which took more than 20,000 hours to be perfected, has a granite base that represents his six championships and stands a total of 17-feet tall including the base — representing his division titles.
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was in attendance for the unveiling, being joined by several other former teammates of the undisputed greatest quarterback of all time — Devin McCourty, Jason McCourty, Deatrich Wise, Jonathan Jones, Wes Welker, Kliff Kingsbury, David Andrews and Brian Hoyer.
Brady, a sixth-round draft pick by New England in 2000, began his career as the fourth quarterback on the depth chart before entering the starting lineup just one year later and never looked back. The Patriots became the winningest franchise in sports across his 19 seasons that spanned from 2000-2019 — winning six Super Bowl titles along the way.
The Patriots streamed the entire ceremony on X and Youtube, which you can find here.
