The New England Patriots have officially immortalized Tom Brady with a towering bronze statue outside Gillette Stadium. The 12-foot figure, standing atop a granite base that pushes the height to 17 feet, was unveiled Friday afternoon in front of a large, chanting crowd.

Buccacio is the artist who designed the about-to-be-unveiled statue of the Patriots legend. He wanted to see Brady react when he saw himself in bronze. “I’ve spent enough time looking at it. I wanted to see what he was going to think,” said Buccacio, who the Patriots selected over several other interested sculptors to create the project.

The Patriots revealed quarterback Tom Brady's bronze likeness to the world on Friday night. The debut of Brady's statue was far less eventful than the unveiling of Rocky’s statue. It actually sounded a little like the ill-fated Tom Brady roast from May 2024, with Brady poking fun at himself and others.
