The New England Patriots are to retire Tom Brady’s number 12 shirt and build a statue of their legendary former quarterback.
The franchise made the announcement while inducting the 46-year-old into their Hall of Fame.
After being selected by the Patriots with the 199th pick of the 2000 draft, Brady led them to six Super Bowl wins.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft, said, “the statue will stand alone in the plaza outside of the Hall of Fame to symbolise his position, not as the greatest in franchise history, but as the greatest in all of NFL history.”
Brady says he’s eternally grateful.
Brady played under former Patriots coach Bill Belichick during his time at the franchise.
