Seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady received his flowers on Wednesday night as he was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame ceremony is a who’s who of former New England legends and NFL greats who were on hand to support and cheer on Brady for his prestigious career at the Foxborough, Massachusetts-based franchise. However, there was one surprise guest that the Patriots legendary quarterback did not expect.

During Tom Brady’s Hall of Fame ceremony, he was surprised by one of his biggest rivals throughout his career, Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. You can check out Brady’s surprised look and reaction in the video below.

Brady arrives to his Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony in style

The man who has won more Super Bowls than any other player in NFL history arrived at his special ceremony on Wednesday evening in style. Brady arrived in a suit and khakis for the event being held by the New England Patriots. On Wednesday night, Brady will be officially enshrined and inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.

And as you might imagine, there were plenty of other celebrities in attendance, including Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Jay-Z, Bill Burr, Peyton Manning, and others.

It’s a well-deserved honor for a man with a relentless obsession of winning. He helped fuel the Patriots to six different Super Bowl titles during his storied career. Then, towards the end of his NFL career, he also brought one Super Bowl crown to Tampa Bay.

Brady is a little more than a month removed from “The Roast of Tom Brady”, the three-hour special on Netflix. The show drew rave reviews on social media and overall was a very successful event. It ran incredibly smoothly, considering how many people spoke during it. It drew over two million viewers on the night it was aired, but following the roast, the greatest to ever spin it said he had some regrets. He also apologized to his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen.
