Tom Brady BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tom Brady has been all over the headlines this week, and for good reason—the New England Patriots finally unveiled a massive 12-foot bronze statue in his honor at Gillette Stadium on Friday, drawing fans, former teammates, and even his own family to Foxborough for what became an emotional tribute. The evening ceremony, staged right before the Patriots preseason opener against the Washington Commanders, saw owner Robert Kraft sharing glowing words about Brady’s 17 playoff appearances, six Super Bowl wins with New England, and a career that made winning “the norm.” Brady, in typically self-deprecating fashion, joked about his infamous 40-yard dash as he took the stage, thanking the crowd and recalling never imagining he would one day be “made of bronze and frozen in time.” The statue, with its six-sided granite base representing a Super Bowl for each Patriot victory under Brady, towers 17 feet high—one for each of his 17 division titles—a monument Kraft called a first for any Patriots player. Brady’s competitive drive, those iconic comebacks, and his loyalty to New England fans were recounted with the kind of awe that only the NFL’s greatest ever can inspire, and the ceremony was broadcast on WBZ-TV and across social media, lighting up feeds with images of the G.O.A.T. alongside his family, Kraft, coach Mike Vrabel, and a bevy of Patriot legends, all while thousands of fans cheered and chanted his name. Reports from CBS Boston and NFL.com confirm that the original plan was to reveal the statue last year, but his new NFL broadcasting work at FOX delayed the festivities.
If all this wasn’t enough for headline writers, Brady is also making moves in the business world. The new CardVault by Tom Brady, a sports memorabilia and trading card shop, just opened its first Chicago location opposite Wrigley Field. TimeOut Chicago reports the shop offers autographed gear, rare cards, and collectibles, expanding a business Brady already operates at Gillette Stadium and locations across the Northeast. As if on cue with the store launch, Times of India covered Brady’s grand opening appearance, where he reminisced about his childhood card-collecting days and raved about rising NFL stars like Patrick Mahomes and Jayden Daniels. Brady praised Mahomes as “an unbelievable player” and gladly picked up a limited-edition card for his son Jack, demonstrating his continued engagement with both sports culture and current NFL talent.
On social media, fans debated intensely about the statue’s pose—was it classic fist pump, a snowy Foxborough spike, or clutching the Lombardi Trophy post–28–3 comeback? Local news and Pats fans weighed in from Twitter and Reddit, with general agreement on its biographical weight, cementing Brady’s place in Patriots and NFL history. No salacious rumors or controversial stories have emerged, and multiple outlets confirm his escalating post-retirement career as a broadcaster and entrepreneur. In every way—statues, headlines, side hustles—Tom Brady remains the face of an unforgettable dynasty, and New England just made it official with 17 feet of bronze.
