Tom Brady and Robert Kraft share emotional moment in return to New England (Video)
Tom Brady shares a special moment with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft pregame.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady makes his return to Gillette Stadium to take on the New England Patriots in a highly anticipated matchup. Brady left New England in March of 2020 and signed with Tampa Bay in a move that shocked the NFL.
Prior to Sunday Night Football’s game between the Buccaneers and Patriots, Brady shared a moment with New England’s owner Robert Kraft.

Kraft walked up to Brady while he was finishing up a quick conversation with former NFL quarterback Drew Brees.
There’s a lot of history between Tom and Robert. Brady led the Patriots to a total of nine Super Bowls and won six of them. New England has nothing but love for perhaps the greatest quarterback of all-time.
Tampa Bay is entering Gillette Stadium with a 2-1 record, while Mac Jones and the Patriots sit at 1-2. New England released quarterback Cam Newton prior to the start of the 2021 regular season, who took over for Brady after he left.
It’s clear that the Patriots now have their franchise quarterback in Jones, a first-round draft pick. Kraft can only hope that Mac will be half as successful as Brady was during his time in Foxborough.
It’s hard to hold any animosity towards Tom Brady if you’re a New England fan. If it wasn’t for him, the franchise wouldn’t have been near as successful as it was in the past two decades. It’s been 20 years this month since Brady made his debut with the Patriots. The rest is history.
Take it easy on New England tonight, Tom.
