Buccacio is the artist who designed the about-to-be-unveiled statue of the Patriots legend. He wanted to see Brady react when he saw himself in bronze. “I’ve spent enough time looking at it. I wanted to see what he was going to think,” said Buccacio, who the Patriots selected over several other interested sculptors to create the project.

The former star quarterback, who spent two decades with the Massachusetts team, has been immortalized with a 12-foot-tall statue in Patriots Place Plaza
