There will be a statue of Tom Brady at Gillette Stadium. On Wednesday night, Robert Kraft revealed that the Patriots will be installing a 12-foot bronze statue of the former QB this season!
At Brady’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Foxborough, the New England head coach broke the exciting news to an enthralled audience, revealing that the former signal-caller will be the first player in franchise history to receive the accolade.

Brady will be the first Patriot to wear the No. 12 jersey retired since Bruce Armstrong did it in 2001, according to Kraft. When his former boss made the news, Brady, who was dressed for the occasion in a suit and tie, started crying.
An eventful and emotional night for Tom Brady
All of this took place during the three-hour-long, spectacular, star-studded celebration, which honored TB12, who played 20 seasons for New England Patriots, nonstop.

Jay-Z sang Brady’s walkout song, “Public Service Announcement.” Additionally, Bill Burr took to the mic to criticize Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Rob Gronkowski, Peyton Manning, and Bill Belichick were also present.
Kenny Chesney even took the stage to perform a song for the audience and the quarterback! In the end, Brady accepted the dais and expressed his gratitude to Kraft, his coaches, his teammates, his family, and others for their support. He also acknowledged Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports!
