Boston sports fans, Patriots team legends, and celebrities from across New England and beyond all descended on Foxborough, Massachusetts for Tom Brady's induction into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame.
Brady arrived about an hour before his ceremony officially began at Gillette Stadium and took pictures alongside Kraft and his wife Dr. Dana Blumberg. 'It's been nothing short of humbling and I can only express my love and gratitude for you guys . I don't take it lightly,' Brady said on the red carpet.
'There's nothing like sport to bring community together,' Kraft reflected. 'What he did is create an organization for us over 20 years that's been like nothing else. New Jersey music legend and Patriots fan Jon Bon Jovi was also seen parading around the red carpet before the event Among the celebrities who were present at the ceremony included Boston comedian Bill Burr - who delivered an opening monologue that began the proceedings.
A number of former players also offered their congratulations including Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Michael Strahan, Jason Taylor, Eli Manning, Charles Woodson, Richard Sherman, and Patrick Mahomes. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was also there with three of his employees - a reunion of the group known as the 'Brady Four' that were arrested during a sit-in at NFL headquarters in 2015 as a protest of the investigation into 'Deflategate'.— New England Patriots June 13, 2024 Brady won six titles with New England, with the last coming against the Rams in Super Bowl LIII

Brady and the Patriots regressed in 2002, before coming back and winning Super Bowl XXXVIII over the Carolina Panthers.
Brady won back-to-back titles: over the Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, then the Eagles in Super Bowl XXIX Then, just two seasons later - after a season where Brady served a four game suspension for allegedly tampering with the air pressure in footballs in the 2014 AFC Championship game - came arguably his greatest achievement.
