06:47You know, you know, you can get it tougher than him.
06:50And he takes the snap.
06:52Three steps.
06:53He bumps.
06:53He looks long.
06:54He throws it down the left side for a door.
06:55He's set.
06:56And he makes the catch in the end zone.
06:59Touchdown, Patriots.
07:01Hey, what more could you want than this, man?
07:09Let's go win the thing.
07:10They give the bird.
07:11It runs it left for the win.
07:14Touchdown, Patriots.
07:16And they're bound for Super Bowl 53.
07:24Shotgun snap to Brady.
07:25Dropping back.
07:26Lobs a throw for Gronkowski.
07:27Left side.
07:28Makes the catch.
07:29Over two defenders.
07:31Tumbling to the two.
07:38Daddy, this is the best game I've ever tried.
07:41To RKK and the entire Kraft family, you foster a culture of excellence and integrity that has
07:52impacted an entire region.
07:56Tom Brady, a six-time champion.
07:59You know, the opportunity to play for such a great organization, a great coach, and great
08:29for today's work.
08:54Thank you.
08:55Gracias.
09:25Gracias.

18:01Gracias.
18:02Gracias.
18:03Gracias.
18:04On a personal note, Tommy, after my family, there's no human being on the planet that I love and respect as much as you. And now for the moment we've all been waiting for.
18:34All right, I'm going to invite you to count down along with me. We're going to start from three and work our way to the unveiling. Three, two, one.
19:04Two, two, one.
19:32Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome.
19:33Please welcome the first player in franchise history to receive this honor, Tom Brady.
20:03What's happening, Foxborough?
20:09This is quite overwhelming, obviously, and I just thank you so much for being here.
20:15It means the world to me.
20:16I appreciate it.
20:17Thank you.
20:22As RKK just said it perfectly, people will never forget how you made them feel.
20:28Right now I feel extremely honored, deeply grateful, and if I'm being honest, kind of old.
20:38I'm also a little surprised because usually they don't build statues until you're really
20:43old, like Vrabel and Bruschi.
20:50It's not every day you get a statue, at least not one like this.
20:55Seeing myself as a statue isn't something I could have imagined growing up.
21:00When I was drafted, I just hoped to make the team.
21:06I never dreamed I'd be standing here two and a half decades later made of bronze and frozen
21:12in time.
21:14It actually feels pretty appropriate given my 40-yard dash time.
21:21In all seriousness, this is an incredible honor.
21:25I'm humbled to be here today with so many people who helped make this possible.
21:30And also today is the first time in my life that Boston sports writers will describe me
21:35as chiseled.
21:37So that's a major, major win.
21:40To the Kraft family, I can't say thank you enough for believing in me from the very beginning.
21:48You didn't just give me a place to play football, you gave me a home.
21:52A second family in the highest possible standards of excellence.
21:59Everything we accomplished here started with your leadership, with your commitment to doing
22:05things the right way.
22:10I love you.
22:12To my teammates, every guy I shared the locker room with, every man who put in the work and
22:17the time and the sacrifice, thank you.
22:20We took the field expecting to win.
22:23And when we did, we celebrated as a team always.
22:29To my coaches, thank you for pushing me every single day by always demanding the best.
22:35You helped me become the person and player that I am today.
22:40To my family, my kids, my parents, my sisters, all my friends who traveled long distances to
22:46be here, I wouldn't be here without you all.
22:52Although I'm sure most of them are mumbling under their breasts right now, yeah, we love
22:57you, but a statue, really?
23:01And a Patriots nation, that's you guys.
23:14I can't put into words how much your support and your love meant to me.
23:20You showed up in the rain, in the snow, in zero-degree temperatures.
23:25Thank you.
23:39You guys showed up in these zero-degree temperatures and you earned every single one of these banners
23:45that fly above this stadium forever.
23:49Pero en el final, la estatua no es solo para los fans de Pats.
23:53También puede dar a todos los fans de Jets algo para los bebés de la ciudad cada año.
24:01Probablemente en la segunda quarta,
24:05quizás en la tercera.
24:07Para la estatua itself,
24:09Jeff, tu y tu equipo y tu equipo hicieron un gran trabajo.
24:14Seriously, it is so accurate, so detailed.
24:20Hold on, one sec.
24:21Hello?
24:23Really?
24:26Okay.
24:28Sorry, Jeff, that was Coach Belichick.
24:30He said there's still room for improvement.
24:35I know the feeling.
24:38Look, I know what this statue represents.
24:41It's not about one guy, it never is.
24:43It never has been.
24:45And in football, it never will be.
24:48It's about a team and a commitment to being great together.
24:57I'm proud to know that fans can show up at this stadium
25:00and feel as inspired as I always did playing here.
25:05To think that a kid from California might someday travel here to this plaza,
25:09stop, stop, gaze at this work of art, and say,
25:14who the hell is that guy?
25:18I've said this before, but I want to say it again.
25:22I'm humbled and honored to have been part of this organization
25:25for 20 incredible years.
25:27You guys shaped my life and the life of my family,
25:31and for that, I'm forever grateful.
25:33I hope I've given to you as much as you have given to me.
25:39Thank you, New England.
25:45I love you.
25:46And let's get ready to kick off the 2025 NFL season.
