Video: Robert Kraft announces Tom Brady will be inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame early next summer



Tom Brady returned to Gillette Stadium on Sunday ahead of the Patriots’ season opener and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft had a special announcement waiting for him.

Kraft announced he is waiving the usual four-year waiting period for Brady to enter the team’s Hall of Fame during a halftime ceremony with Tom Brady and his family.

Brady will be officially inducted next summer on a date that lines up with No. 12’s six Super Bowl wins.

Brady who is a no doubt first round ballot Hall Of Famer will first be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028, as that organization has a five-year waiting period.
