It is an undeniable fact that Brady is a true Patriots legend. He led the franchise to six Super Bowl wins, and one can never forget his contributions to the team in the league. So when fans caught a glimpse of the retired QB in the new Patriots schedule video, it left them grinning ear to ear.
In the video, we see retired Patriots safety Devin McCourty as the protagonist of the video. He arrives at the Patriots’ retirement house. After arriving at the house, he settles down and then proceeds to check around the house. The video creatively shows the various games the team has lined up for the 2023 season. For example, they announced their Week 1 home opener with the Philadelphia Eagles, with a man wearing a hat with an Eagle pressing a button to make its wings swing. They even announced their international games in Germany through a German class that was in place in the video. But the most special moment for fans was when Tom Brady appeared in the end, asking if they “got room for one more.”
