Tom Brady's statue weighs six tons and rises 17 feet off the ground, from the bottom of the six-sided base — one for each of the New England Patriots' Super Bowl victories — to the tip of the bronze fist raised in celebration.

Brady expressed gratitude for the new statue outside Gillette Stadium, and he didn't miss an opportunity to needle Jets fans

The New England Patriots revealed their long-awaited Tom Brady statue Friday and fans can breathe easy. It's not a Cristiano Ronaldo or Dwyane Wade-esque disaster. The larger-than-life statue, sculpted by artist and Patriots fan Jeff Buccacio, features the legendary quarterback in a simple pose, with his fist in the air and his helmet by his side.
