The event will take place before the first preseason game in which the Pats will face the Washington Commanders at Gillette Stadium. The New England Patriots announced the tribute on their social media through a video that intersperses memorable moments in Brady's career with the work of the sculptor who forges the statue. "Last year, we commissioned a local sculptor to create a life-size bronze statue to perpetuate the legendary legacy of the great Tom Brady," said Robert Kraft, owner of the team, in the video. Brady, a future member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, is considered the best player in NFL history. Tom Brady's history with the Patriots
The former quarterback led the Patriots to win Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, and LIII, making them, along with the Steelers, the most winning team in the Super Bowl era, with six trophies each. Brady, a member of the Patriots Hall of Fame since June of last year, will be the first player to have a statue erected in his honor in the team's history, which dates back to 1959, when the Patriots were founded under the name Boston Patriots, a name they changed in 1971 to the one they have today. Tom Brady arrived in the NFL selected by New England in the 199th position of the sixth round of the 2000 Draft. In addition to the six Lombardi trophies he brought to the Pats' showcases, he won one more with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV before retiring at the end of the 2022 season.

The quarterback holds multiple NFL records, including the player with the most playoff wins, with 35; most completed passes, 7,753; most passing yards, 89,214; and most touchdown passes, 649.

He is also the player with the most Super Bowl appearances, with 10, of which he was victorious in seven. Currently, Brady is a star analyst on the Fox Sports network and a minority owner of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders. His statue will be located in the 'Patriot Place Plaza' outside the team's Hall of Fame, at Gillette Stadium.
