The Patriots unveiled a 17-foot statue in Tom Brady’s honor on Friday night. Located right outside Gillette Stadium in the plaza at Patriot Place, the bronzed quarterback is holding his fist in the air with one arm and carrying a helmet in the other. After remarks from Robert Kraft and the statue’s unveiling, Brady took the stage for a six-minute speech laden with jokes. Here’s everything Brady said at his statue ceremony: “What’s happening, Foxborough?

This is quite overwhelming obviously and I just thank you so much for being here. It means the world to me. I appreciate it. Thank you. As RKK just said it perfectly, people will never forget how you made them feel. Right now I feel extremely honored, deeply grateful, and if I’m being honest, kind of old.

I’m also a little surprised because usually they don’t build statues until you’re really old, like (Mike) Vrabel and (Tedy) Bruschi. “It’s not every day you get a statue. At least not one like this. Seeing myself as a statue isn’t something I could have imagined growing up. When I was drafted I just hoped to make the team. I never dreamed I’d be standing here two and a half decades later made of bronze and frozen in time.

It actually feels pretty appropriate given my 40-yard dash time. In all seriousness, this is an incredible honor. I’m humbled to be here today with so many people who helped make this possible. And also today is the first time in my life that Boston sports writers will describe me as ‘chiseled,’ so that’s a major, major win. Send this article to your social connections.
