Tom Brady, a six-time Super Bowl champion who played for the New England Patriots from 2000 to 2019, will be honored with a statue at Gillette Stadium.

The unveiling of the statue will take place during the Patriots' preseason opener against the Washington Commanders, scheduled to start at 7:30 PM ET.

This event coincides with the one-year anniversary of Brady's induction into the Hall of Fame on June 12, 2024.

The ceremony will celebrate Brady's storied career, highlighting his memorable moments, including last-minute comebacks and record-breaking performances.

This marks the third consecutive summer that the Patriots have honored Brady since his retirement in 2022.

Originally, the unveiling was planned for the previous year but was postponed due to Brady's broadcasting commitments.

Brady's journey from being overlooked in the draft to becoming an iconic player serves as an inspiration for aspiring athletes.

Fans have expressed mixed reactions on social media regarding the statue, with some humorously comparing it to statues of other athletes.

Brady is expected to be eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028, likely receiving recognition in his first year.

In September 2023, Brady was celebrated during a halftime ceremony at Gillette Stadium, where he rang the bell atop the stadium's lighthouse.

Last summer, Brady was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, and the team honored him with a halftime ceremony during the season-opener.

While the exact time for the statue's unveiling event has been confirmed as part of the preseason game, the specific details surrounding the ceremony are still forthcoming.
