Statue of Tom Brady
The statue of Tom Brady is located in front of the north end of Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, United States. Inclusive of its granite base, the bronze statue of former National Football League quarterback Tom Brady weighs and stands tall. Plans for the statue were announced on June 12, 2024, by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, during Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony, and it was unveiled to the public on August 8, 2025.
Background
On June 12, 2024, the New England Patriots celebrated Tom Brady's 20-year career with the franchise in a dedicated three-hour event at Gillette Stadium, culminating with his induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame. During the event, team owner Robert Kraft also announced that Brady's number would be retired, and that a statue was commissioned as well. The statue was initially intended to be unveiled during an NFL on Fox game, for which Brady serves as lead color commentator, during the 2024 Patriots season. However, due to the Patriots poor record that season, Brady's NFL on Fox crew was not selected to broadcast any Patriots games. The unveiling of the statue was delayed until the preseason of the 2025 Patriots season, to ensure Brady's availability.Design
The sculpture depicts Brady raising his right arm in the air with a closed fist, and his left arm holding his Riddell VSR4 helmet, which he wore throughout the majority of his career. Measured head-to-toe, the figure of Brady stands tall—12 having been chosen to represent his uniform number with the team. The statue's overall height, including its base and the raised arm, is —17 having been chosen to represent the number of his AFC East title wins. Kraft stated his intention was to have it "be larger than life, just like Tommy is." The hexagon-shaped base represents both the six New England states and the six Super Bowl titles that Brady won with the Patriots. Etched in the base is a list of those six Super Bowl victories.Lead sculptor Jeff Buccacio, a native of Natick, Massachusetts, and a lifelong Patriots fan, spent 20,000 hours with his team throughout the process of finalizing the statue. The status is considered fairly accurate to Brady's looks.
