New England Patriots' legendary quarterback Tom Brady had plenty of jokes during statue unveiling speech, including one jab at his AFC East division rivals.

The Athletic has live coverage of the 2025 NFL preseason Sunday games. FOXBORO, Mass. — At some point, the New England Patriots will need to untether themselves from the past and move on from the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady years.

Tom Brady was honored earlier this month with a 12-foot bronze statue in front of Gillette Stadium. While the former New England Patriots quarterback certainly deserves it, one of Brady’s longtime teammates hopes to see another statue. But not of a player. Devin McCourty would love one of Bill Belichick.
