When the New England Patriots retired Tom Brady's No. 12 jersey last summer, the team announced they would be building a 12-foot statue made of bronze of the quarterback to be put outside of Gillette Stadium.
On Thursday, the Patriots revealed that the statue will be unveiled on Aug. 8 ahead of the team's preseason game vs. the Washington Commanders. It was fitting the news was dropped on June 12, as this date is often referred to as "Tom Brady Day" for Patriots fans as the 12th represents his jersey number, while the sixth month signifies the number of Super Bowls he won with New England.
