Robert Kraft Reveals How Patriots Will Welcome Tom Brady Back

Robert Kraft has revealed how the Patriots will welcome back Tom Brady. There is a lot of talk going on around on Brady’s return to New England today. The Patriots will be taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today in a game that is likely to be a bit one sided. But that is not what the stories have been about leading up to the game.

Now, the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft has come out with what the Patriots will do in order to welcome back their former QB.

“I want everyone in this building to know, right before the Buccaneers come out, you look at the big board, and for one minute, we’re going to run something that I think is very respectful and worthy,” Kraft said on ESPN. “And if he winds up breaking the record — although I guess in some ways, I hope he doesn’t — but realistically, he will. The game will stop, and we will honor that moment out of respect to him as a great athlete.”

“I don’t think they’re going to be conflicted,” he replied. “We all have love and respect, but we all want to win.”

Tom Brady also talked about the return.

“When I look back at that time (in New England) it was a really growth stage part of my career,” Brady said. “It was a development of myself as a player but also a person off the field. I was soaking up all the information. Even today, I look at some of these young players and they’re like, ‘What do you think of this guy in his third year or fourth year?’ In my mind, I’m thinking, OK, he’s talented, but who is going to teach him how to evolve and grow? Who is going to assist him in learning what football is all about? What his knowledge is?”

“We try to meet with the quarterbacks and stuff and figure out just situational stuff, which helps,” Jones said. “I can’t go into details on that, but it is really beneficial. Just whether it’s the team we’re playing or whoever. Just watching football, hearing it from a great coach like him. Getting advice from the guys in the room that have played for a lot longer than I have. So just listening and trying to see what they see and pick up on things, and it definitely helps just kind of start the week off right, I guess you could say.”
