There were several iconic moments from Tom Brady’s Patriots career that could’ve been immortalized in statue form. However, sculptor Jeff Buccacio opted to take a different route in making Brady’s statue.
The statue of Brady, which was unveiled outside of Gillette Stadium on Friday night, shows him raising his right fist in the air while holding his Patriots helmet in his left hand. Even though the statue wasn’t based on an iconic moment from his career, Buccacio sculpted the statue based on an image from one of Brady’s final seasons with the Patriots.
“This was one of the ones that was sort of one of the favorites,” Buccacio said in a video released by the Patriots on how the statue of Brady was made, showing an image of the quarterback raising his first and with his helmet off.
