In Tom Brady’s closing remarks at his induction to the New England Patriots Hall of Fame on Wednesday, the seven-time Super Bowl champion imparted the secret to his success in life before a crowd of 60,000. 

“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special,” he told fans who came to Gillette Stadium to celebrate his career. “You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined, and willing to work for it.”
