When people think of Tom Brady, they mostly think of him winning Super Bowls with the New England Patriots

The long-time Patriots quarterback won six Super Bowls with the Patriots and another as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after spending two decades in the NFL. 

Now, the Patriots are set to honor him in a special way. On Thursday, the Patriots announced they will unveil a statue for him on August 8 during the preseason game against the Washington Commanders. 

"A legacy etched in bronze forever. @TomBrady’s statue will be unveiled on 8/8 prior to Patriots vs. Commanders."

The Patriots also released a video montage highlighting Brady's career. 

Brady defied all sorts of odds after being selected in the sixth round (199th overall) in the 2000 NFL Draft. 

His career ended with plenty of accolades, including the following: 

  • 15 Pro Bowls 
  • Three-time All-Pro 
  • Seven Super Bowls 
  • Three MVP awards 
  • Five Super Bowl MVPs
  • 333 regular-season starts 
  • 89,214 passing yards (regular season) 
  • 649 touchdowns (regular season) 
  • 13,400 passing yards (postseason) 
  • 48 postseason starts 

Brady is happily retired and enjoying every bit of his new venture as an analyst for Fox Sports, and now he will have a statue to honor him in Foxborough.
