    Tom Brady Statue Unveiled at Gillette Stadium Ahead of Patriots vs. Washington Commanders Preseason Game

    FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots have unveiled their first-ever player statue, honoring legendary quarterback Tom Brady in grand style. The massive bronze figure now stands proudly outside Gillette Stadium, greeting fans in the Patriot Place Plaza just hours before the Patriots faced the Washington Commanders in their 2025 preseason opener.

    Commissioned by team owner Robert Kraft, the statue captures Brady’s iconic celebratory pose — fist raised high, eyes locked forward in the laser-focused expression that defined his career. It’s not tied to a single moment but symbolizes his unmatched two decades in New England, where he led the franchise to unprecedented success.

    The sculpture, standing an impressive 12 feet tall (14.5 feet including the raised fist, and 17 feet with its granite base), weighs more than six tons in total. The granite base alone tips the scale at 10,500 pounds and is shaped in a hexagon, representing the six Super Bowl victories Brady brought to the Patriots. The overall height carries symbolism too — 17 feet for the 17 AFC East titles he won in 18 seasons as a starter.

    Washington Commanders Witness a Historic Night in Foxborough

    For the Washington Commanders, Friday’s preseason matchup against the Patriots wasn’t just another August warmup — it was played against the backdrop of one of the most memorable off-field ceremonies in NFL history. As thousands of fans poured into Patriot Place, the Commanders became the first visiting team to take the field with Brady’s newly erected statue towering over the stadium entrance.

    The Commanders, who are preparing for their second full season under their latest coaching leadership, took the opportunity to evaluate young talent while playing in the shadow of a quarterback whose career helped shape the modern NFL. Many Washington players stopped to admire the monument before kickoff, underscoring its immediate impact as a league landmark.

    How the Statue Was Made and Why It Matters

    The project was led by Buccacio Sculpture Services in Canton, Massachusetts. Lifelong Patriots fan Jeff Buccacio and his team spent more than 20,000 hours crafting the figure, using a mix of bronze casting, 3D scanning, traditional clay sculpting, and modern enlargement techniques to achieve remarkable accuracy.

    Brady, who attended the unveiling, praised the work, joking that former head coach Bill Belichick had already suggested “room for improvement.” The quarterback’s connection to the piece goes beyond mere likeness — it stands as a permanent reminder of his legacy, inspiring both Patriots fans and players across the league, including the visiting Washington Commanders.

    Brady’s Career and Connection to This Moment

    From being drafted 199th overall in 2000 to becoming a three-time NFL MVP, Brady amassed 89,214 passing yards, 649 touchdown passes, and a record 251 regular-season wins. He was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in June 2024 in front of more than 60,000 fans, where Kraft first announced plans for the statue. Scheduling conflicts delayed its public debut, but the timing — just before a game against the Commanders — added a layer of intrigue for both fanbases.

    The Washington Commanders now hold a place in the story of this historic reveal, marking a preseason game that will be remembered far beyond the scoreboard. The monument’s presence will greet every future opponent entering Gillette Stadium, serving as both a symbol of past greatness and a challenge to the NFL’s next generation.

    This statue cements Brady’s place not just in Patriots history, but in the fabric of the league itself, a legacy every visiting team — including the Commanders — will see firsthand.
