FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady left his imprint all over the New England Patriots’ record books during his stellar two-decade run with the team.
Now, he is set to become the first player in franchise history to be honored with a statue.
During a star-studded Patriots Hall of Fame induction last June, at which Brady’s No. 12 was also retired by the team, Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced a 12-foot bronze likeness of the quarterback was being commissioned from a local sculptor “to perpetuate the legendary legacy of the great Tom Brady.”
What Kraft promised would be a “larger than life” ode to Brady will be unveiled on Friday prior to New England’s exhibition game against the Washington Commanders.
