Brady, who won six Super Bowl championships with the Patriots, visited Foxborough last August when the team unveiled a statue to honor him outside Gillette Stadium. To the presumed relief of everyone involved, the sculpture created a suitable likeness of Brady unlike statues paying tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo and Dwyane Wade which didn’t resemble their subjects.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner (who won another Lombardi Trophy in 2020-21 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) goes into his third season as the color analyst for Fox’s No. 1 NFL broadcast team with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt.
As part of the top broadcast crew for Fox, Brady wasn’t assigned to any Patriots games in his first season, during which New England had a 4-13 record and wouldn’t have been considered for any national telecasts.
