Tom Brady’s numbers in the NFL are unparalleled-there’s no one quite like him on the gridiron. He appeared in 10 Super Bowls, won 7, and lost only 3. Of those three defeats, two came against Eli Manning’s New York Giants and one against the Philadelphia Eagles. His ultimate challenge seemed to come from the NFC East. His seven titles include six with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There are franchises that haven’t even made it to a Super Bowl, let alone won one. Given all this, there is little doubt that the former Patriots quarterback is the greatest player in NFL history. Those who had the privilege of watching him play witnessed something truly special.

One of his most iconic moments came during Super Bowl LI, in a comeback that was both unexpected and almost magical. At halftime, the Patriots were trailing the Atlanta Falcons 28-3. No one could have predicted what would follow after the halftime show.

That unbreakable will Brady demonstrated-igniting belief in teammates who already felt defeated, was remarkable. In the end, he pulled off the unimaginable and raised yet another championship ring.

Tom Brady’s bronze statue at Gillette Stadium

With all his accolades and records, Tom Brady is more than deserving of every tribute as he begins a new chapter as a television analyst and enjoys the rewards of his legendary career.

Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, recently announced that a statue of the former quarterback will be installed outside the very stadium that roared so often with his performances, Gillette Stadium.

Kraft clarified that the rumors about the statue’s creation weren’t new. In fact, the project dates back to the previous year.

It’s a wonderful suggestion, except we made the statue last year.

He confirmed.

The statue stands 11 feet 10 inches tall, and its unveiling had been delayed due to Brady’s new job as an NFL analyst, which had made it difficult for him to attend. With schedules now aligned, the unveiling is set for August 8, just before the Patriots’ preseason opener against the Washington Commanders.

The statue will be placed in front of the New England Patriots Hall of Fame and will stand alone, designed to capture the aura of Brady’s greatness. Such honors are reserved for a select few-much like Michael Jordan, who transformed the NBA forever.

The statue cost $7.3 million to build-a price well worth paying considering everything Brady brought to the franchise. For Kraft, the amount was inconsequential; his affection for the former quarterback runs deep. He was personally involved in the statue’s design and was present throughout the creation of the bronze figure.

With this statue, Tom Brady’s living legacy continues to grow, reminding future generations that sustained greatness requires both physical and mental discipline, resilience in the face of adversity, and relentless forward momentum.
