When talking about the New England Patriots, Tom Brady's name is one of the first things that comes to mind. Even though he didn't play his final three years with the franchise, Brady will always be remembered as a member of the AFC East franchise.
To most NFL fans, Brady is still the "GOAT" when it comes to quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes has started receiving some hype for that title, but he has a ways to go.
Even though his leaving the Patriots was a tough pill to swallow for the fans and upset many of them, the team is making a huge move to honor the legendary signal caller.

Along with the statue being unveiled, the team will be playing a preseason game against the Washington Commanders. With live football back and Brady being honored, Patriots fans will be having a great day.
Along with his Super Bowl wins, Brady found a lot more success throughout his career as well. He led New England to nine AFC Championship wins and also won 17 division titles. Brady also won three NFL MVP awards.
Putting together that kind of career wasn't bad at all for a quarterback who was drafted No. 199 overall in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. The NFL is never going to forget Brady and the career he had.

Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen Would 'Absolutely Love' to Play Flag Football in Olympics
Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen Would 'Absolutely Love' to Play Flag Football in Olympics originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite being three years away, the flag football competition of the Olympics has been a hot topic of discussion amongst current NFL players. Advertisement Most recently, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen spoke on the topic. Allen made it clear that he would love the chance to take home a gold medal for the United States. 'I'm not gonna disrespect the guys that are playing flag football right now, but, you know, if there's an opportunity for me to try, I would absolutely love to,' Allen told reporters on Tuesday. 'I've always wanted to compete for my country and, you know, every time the Olympics are on, I'm tuned in and glued to the screen. But I think there's really no greater honor to do that. That'd be really cool.' Flag football has developed into a much different game than the tackle football played on NFL gridirons, to the point where the current Team USA quarterback Darrell Doucette III has made headlines taking shots at NFL players, saying they shouldn't be given spots on the Olympic roster over longtime flag football players. That being said, it's hard to imagine a reality where Allen wouldn't dominate the sport. The reigning NFL Most Valuable Player just completed his sixth consecutive season with 40 touchdowns. While Allen has one of the strongest arms in the NFL - averaging 4,048 yards per 17 games - he's also a threat as a runner. Advertisement Allen has logged 4,142 yards and 65 touchdowns on the ground in his NFL career, including back-to-back double digit rushing touchdown seasons. At 6-foot-5, Allen has an incredible combination of size, speed, and arm talent. There are still many decisions that need to be made by USA Football regarding how the country's national team will be selected, but they'll be hard pressed to find a quarterback better equipped for the job than Josh Allen.

Rams sign veteran OT amidst Alaric Jackson's health concerns
The Los Angeles Rams signed veteran OT DJ Humphries yesterday. Humphries was a first round selection by the Arizona Cardinals in 2025 and played for the Kansas City Chiefs last season. At first glance the Humphries signing seemed to be a depth-shoring move. That perspective seemed to shift on Friday with reports that blood clotting issues have resurfaced with starting left tackle Alaric Jackson—who signed a three-year, $57M deal with the Rams this offseason. Advertisement Jackson's bout with blood clots first surfaced during his sophomore season in 2022. He played in eight games with six starts before sitting out the remainder of the year. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, 'the belief is he'll play in 2025' and 'there are still questions'. While the starters along the offensive line seem stout for Los Angeles, Rob Havenstein and Jackson at tackles introduce layers of uncertainty with their injury history. The Rams will need to do all they can to keep Matthew Stafford upright during the final stage of his career, and missing a tackle out of the starting lineup could potentially derail their Super Bowl aspirations.

Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen Reveals Biggest Life Accomplishment
Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen Reveals Biggest Life Accomplishment originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been on an absolute roll as of late - on and off the field. The 29-year-old gunslinger is coming off a historic 2024 season - one in which he was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player. Allen threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns, completing 63.6 percent of his passes and only being intercepted six times. On the ground, Allen ran for 531 yards and 12 touchdowns. Allen also recorded a receiving touchdown - despite not registering a reception, thanks to a lateral player between him and Amari Cooper. Advertisement Thanks to his exploits on the field, Allen was rewarded a six-year, $330 million contract extension, with a record $250 million guaranteed. Even more recently, Allen married actress Hailee Steinfeld. The pair began dating in May 2023, and Allen proposed in November 2024. Allen has accompanied Steinfeld on red carpets and Hollywood events, most recently due to Seinfeld's standout performance in Ryan Coogler's genre-defying hit "Sinners", which has grossed over $350 million at the box office and is an early favorite for Best Picture. Heading into his eighth NFL season, Allen had plenty to talk about with reporters on Tuesday as the Bills began their minicamp at ADPRO Sports Training Center. While there was buzz all offseason about Allen beating out Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson for MVP and his record-breaking contract, Allen said his wedding was not only the biggest milestone of his offseason, but his life. Advertisement 'They've all been big, none other than marrying my best friend, and she makes everything easier,' Allen told reporters. 'So, I don't really focus on the other stuff. That was the most important decision I'll make in my life and I made the right one.' Following the couple's engagement announcement in November, Steinfeld was immediately welcomed by the people of Buffalo after a billboard was erected downtown with the caption: 'The Queen city has a new queen. Congratulations, Josh and Hailee.' As supportive as Allen has been of Steinfeld's career, Steinfeld has given that same support to Allen. 'Hailee loves supporting Josh's career and admires his work ethic,' a source told Us Weekly. 'She absolutely loves going to the games and cheering him on. It's fun for her to bring her family and be with Josh's and they make it a huge family outing. Their families have bonded a lot, especially during the season.'
