Patriots Induct Tom Brady Into HOF, Retire No.12 Jersey

The New England Patriots have inducted legendary quarterback Tom Brady into their Hall of Fame while also retiring his iconic no.12 jersey. Brady, whose 12-foot statue will also be erected during the season, won six Super Bowls and 17 AFC East titles during his 20-year stint in New England. The 46-year-old made an emotional speech during the three-hour ceremony, thanking the likes of former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. "Thank you for your tireless commitment to develop and push me to be my very best. It wasn't me, it wasn't you, it was us. Let me make this crystal clear: There is no coach in the world I would rather play for than Bill Belichick," said Tom Brady. Belichick noted his appreciation for his former star quarterback, thanking him for “all you’ve done for me" and calling Brady "unbelievable”. Brady’s former quarterback rival Peyton Manning was also present, repaying the favor for Brady attending his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction. Rapper Jay-Z was also present at the ceremony and sang “Public Service Announcement”, which is a song Brady would run out to during his career.
