Hundreds of Tom Brady’s ex-teammates to attend Patriots Hall of Fame induction for legendary QB, per report



Tom Brady played in NFL from 2000 to 2022, spending his first 20 seasons with the New England Patriots before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady had a lot of teammates during that two-decade-plus span, and many — and I mean one very — of them will attend the Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony on June 12.

Hundreds of Brady’s former teammates will be in attendance at Gillette Stadium, according to ESPN, as the number 12 receives his red jacket that symbolizes his consecration in the team’s exclusive club. Many years in NFL This means you have no shortage of options for special guests.

The report did not say exactly who will be present, but highlighted that Damien Woody will be one of the former players present. If the guest list is anything like the Netflix lineup, we can expect former teammates like Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and Randy Moss to appear.

It is unknown if any former coaches, such as Bill Belichick, will attend. Brady and future Hall of Fame coach and owner Robert Kraft were rumored to have his issues, but Belichick and Kraft were on hand for Brady’s roast. Belichick and the Patriots recently parted ways, leaving the coach without an NFL job for the first time in decades. Returning to his old place of employment may not be at the top of his list, but for Brady, he can return.

Many of Brady’s former teammates have been inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, including Vince Wilfork, Mike Vrabel, Richard Seymour, Rodney Harrison, Matt Light, Tedy Bruschi, Troy Brown, Ty Law, Willie McGinest, Kevin Faulk and Drew Bledsoe. These players could show up in their own red jackets to support their former teammate in obtaining his.

Typically, the team waits four years after a player retires before considering him for the Hall of Fame, but after bringing the team six Super Bowls, owner Robert Kraft decided to forgo his own needs. Ceremonies are historically held at the Patriots Hall of Fame, but with Brady, things once again needed to change.

The 46-year-old’s legacy will be revived at Gillette Stadium, where Pats Nation will pack up to cheer on their most beloved quarterback. The Hall of Fame ceremony at the stadium is a first for the team.

This is not the first time, however, that Brady has been honored by his former franchise. The team gave the quarterback a well-deserved halftime ceremony to honor his accomplishments during his time in Foxborough. It was there that Kraft announced that the Hall of Fame ceremony would take place much sooner than four years later.

During his speech at the Patriots’ opening game, Brady said, “One thing I can be sure of, and that will never change, is that I will be a Patriot for life.” Fans will likely hear similar sentiments on June 12.

The seven times Super Bowl The champion is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028 and will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
