Tweets Of The Day

The New England Patriots announced that they’ll unveil a Tom Brady statue at Gillette Stadium Aug. 8 ahead of the preseason game against the Washington Commanders. Brady won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, before claiming one as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers near the end of his career.

More from Yahoo Sports:
While Brady finished his storybook career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, even claiming his seventh and final Super Bowl victory with the NFC South club, he spent 20 of his 23 seasons in the NFL with the Patriots.

New England famously selected Brady out of Michigan with the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. He went on to outplay not only the six quarterbacks who were taken before him that year, but also every quarterback who’s ever taken the field.

Initially a feel-good story, Brady turned the Patriots into the league’s greatest supervillain, ushering in the sport’s most dominant dynasty to date — a six-Super Bowl reign that spanned two decades.

Along the way, Brady also collected nine AFC championships and a whopping 17 AFC East titles. The three-time NFL MVP is the league’s all-time leader in wins (251), Pro Bowl selections (15), Super Bowl MVPs (5), passing yards (89,214) and passing touchdowns (649).

Michigan running back Justice Haynes, a junior who transferred in after two seasons at Alabama, is fond of the Wolverines’ culture.

Jason Sudeikis — the actor who plays ‘Ted Lasso’ — reached out to former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh for advice on playing a coach.

For the second straight day at the NBPA Top 100 Camp in South Carolina, Michigan head coach Dusty May evaluated five-star small forward Anthony Thompson.
