The National Football League's most successful team for many years honored the 48-year-old for his six Super Bowl victories as the Patriots' playmaker. The bronze statue was unveiled on Friday before the Patriots' pre-season game against the Washington Commanders.
Brady expressed his gratitude for the honor and made a few jokes at his own expense in his speech - but couldn't resist a few humorous jabs at former teammates. Five days after his 48th birthday, he pretended to take a call from his former coach Bill Belichick and then said, alluding to the ever-critical coach: "He thinks there's room for improvement."
Brady went on to joke that standing frozen in front of the stadium for all time was something he could never have expected - but somehow also appropriate considering his speed. The seven-time Super Bowl champion - he won one title with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after leaving the Patriots - has repeatedly been criticized over the course of his career for his lack of sprinting ability.
