One of the greatest things about sports is the bond players and fans share. You feel like youve lived through the same experiences and share the same memories. That was one of our motivations in building The Hall. We wanted to create a place where our fans and alumni could visit and relive those moments together. We wanted to preserve the legacy of this franchise and give our greatest players the most prominent display of any hall of fame in the world. Robert Kraft

C H A I R M A N Since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994, the Patriots have experienced one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the history of sports. Now in his 20th season of ownership, Kraft has transformed one of the leagues least successful clubs into what many observers view as a model NFL franchise. In its rst 34 seasons of existence, the Patriots won a total of 225 games. Under Krafts guidance, the franchise equaled that win total in just 19 years. In the ve seasons immediately preceding his purchase (1989-93), the Patriots were a moribund team, winning just 19 of 80 games (.238 pct.) and recording the worst record in the NFL over that span. When he bought the franchise on Jan. 21, 1994, Kraft announced his intention to bring a championship to New England, a tall order considering the teams previous success rate. But since then, under Krafts leadership, the Patriots have won more division titles (12), conference crowns (6) and Super Bowl championships (3) than any other NFL team. In 2011, the Patriots claimed their sixth AFC Championship during Krafts tenure, earning him the distinction as the rst principal owner in NFL history to earn six trips to the Super Bowl. Since 1994, no other NFL team has appeared in more than four Super Bowls. In Krafts 19 seasons, the Patriots have qualied for the playoffs 14 times, more than doubling the franchises playoff appearances in their rst 34 seasons. &

leadership constitutes one of the greatest long-term, worst-to-rst revivals in sports history. In 2005, Forbes magazine valued the Patriots franchise at $1 billion. The Patriots were just the fourth sports franchise in history
It didnt take long for Krafts vision to come into focus. His personal investment in the team restored the faith of Patriots fans and rejuvenated interest throughout New England. The year he bought the team, season ticket sales soared to new heights, eclipsing 40,000 for the rst time in franchise history. By the start of his rst season, every game was sold out, a feat that had never been accomplished in the franchises previous 34 seasons. The achievement ensured that local broadcast blackouts would be lifted and every Patriots game, home and away, would be televised throughout New England for the rst time in team history. Every game has been sold out since that 1994 season opener. In his rst year of ownership, the Patriots won their nal seven regular season games to qualify for the postseason, ending an eight-year playoff drought.

to eclipse that nancial plateau. After winning back-toback Super Bowls and three titles in four years, Forbes also named the Patriots The Best Team in Sports. In 2007, the New England Patriots won a franchiserecord fth consecutive division title. They also became the rst NFL team to win 16 games during the regular season and the only team to ever win 18 consecutive games in one season. The undefeated regular season boosted the teams overall record from 2003 to 2007 to 77-17 for a remarkable .819 winning percentage. The 77 wins in ve years is the most by any team over any ve-year span in NFL history. From Sept. 14, 2003 to Oct. 26, 2008, the Patriots won 82 games with only 18 losses. It marks the most successful 100-game stretch since the league was founded in 1920. The Kraft-era Patriots also set three signicant NFL records for consecutive wins. In 2003 and 2004, the Patriots won 21 consecutive games, which included three playoff games. Two years later, the Patriots started another streak and over the next three seasons won 21 consecutive regular season games. In addition, the Patriots also established an NFL record by winning 10 consecutive playoff games (2001-05). During that time, the Patriots also won 21 consecutive games at Gillette Stadium, the longest home win streak in franchise history. The success the Patriots sustained during the 2000s is without rival. The Patriots 126 total victories (including playoffs) was the most by any team in one decade in the 93-year history of the NFL. The recent decade of dominance featured more Super Bowl titles (3), conference titles (4), division titles (7), playoff wins (14), victories in a single season (18) and victories in a regular season (16) than any other team. In addition, no other NFL team hosted more playoff games (9) or played in more playoff games (18) than the New England Patriots. The sustained success earned the franchise Team of the Decade acclaim from many publications.
After claiming their third Super Bowl in four years, Forbes selected the New England Patriots as the best team in sports. The accompanying article recognized how Robert Kraft built the Patriots organization into a winner on and off the eld, as the team became just the fourth NFL franchise to be valued at over $1 billion by the magazine.
Kraft began his business career with the RandWhitney Group, Inc. of Worcester, Mass., a company that converted paper into packaging for various industries. He later acquired the company. In 1972, he founded International Forest Products, a trader of paper commodities that now does business annually in more than 90 countries. Together, Rand-Whitney and International Forest Products (IFP) comprise one of the
largest privately-owned and fully integrated paper and packaging companies in the United States. In 2011, IFP was the top U.S. containerized exporter in New England and ranked 27th in the nation. Kraft founded The Kraft Group to serve as the holding company for the familys varied business interests, which are concentrated in ve specic areas: the distribution of forest products, paper and packaging manufacturing, sports and entertainment, real estate development and private equity and venture investing. Throughout Krafts professional career, many of his biggest risks have yielded the greatest rewards. That was true throughout his pursuit of Patriots ownership, beginning in 1985 when he rst purchased an option on the land surrounding the old stadium in Foxborough, Mass. It was a large investment for an underdeveloped parcel of land, but proved to be an important rst step in a long process toward buying the Patriots. In 1988, he took another step by purchasing the stadium out of bankruptcy court when he purchased the antiquated stadium in Foxborough. But, with a binding lease through 2001, the acquisition of the old stadium proved to be an invaluable asset in Krafts quest toward owning the team. When his opportunity came in January of 1994, Kraft faced a difcult business dilemma. He had to decide between committing over $172 million of family
resources to purchase the Patriots or accept a lucrative $75 million buyout offer to void the nal years of the teams stadium lease and allow the team to move out of New England. On Jan. 21,
A CHAMPIONSHIP ERA
Prior to 1994, the Patriots qualied for the playoffs just six times during their rst 34 seasons (1960-93). In the 19 seasons since Robert Kraft has taken ownership, the Patriots have qualied for the playoffs 14 times, 12 times as division champions, and have won six conference titles and three Super Bowl championships.

1994, Kraft passed on the buyout offer, choosing instead to make an 11th-hour bid to buy the team. On Feb. 26, 1994, a day after Kraft earned league approval, season tickets for the 1994 season went on sale and Patriots fans showed their support for Krafts decision in record numbers. By the end of the rst business day, amidst a winter noreaster, 5,958 season ticket orders were processed, shattering the previous single-day sales record of 979. The show of support validated Krafts decision to buy the team and gave him the condence to focus on another long-term project with great nancial risk: the private-nancing and construction of Gillette Stadium. BUILDING GILLETTE From 2000 to 2002, The Kraft Groups real estate development team oversaw the on-time and on-budget construction of Gillette Stadium, a privately-nanced $325 million state-of-the-art stadium that the Patriots and their fans are proud to call home. The nancial commitment from Kraft provided a solid foundation on which to build for the rst time in the franchises nomadic history. Moving from Foxboro Stadium into the majestic Gillette Stadium marked another worst-to-rst transformation for the Krafts, who now operate New Englands premier entertainment venue. After opening Gillette Stadium, Kraft was recognized as the Sports Executive of the Year by one national publication and he and Jonathan Kraft were named Sports Industrialists of the Year by another. The construction of Gillette Stadium was the rst project of The Kraft Groups development team. In 2007, The Kraft Group expanded the site development with the construction of Patriot Place, a mixed-use lifestyle center and entertainment destination. LOVE OF SPORTS Kraft is widely recognized as one of the most successful owners in professional sports. As Chairman and CEO of the New England Patriots, Investor/Operator of the New England Revolution and owner of Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place, Kraft has turned that underdeveloped parcel of land he purchased in 1985 in Foxborough, Mass. into a world-class sports and entertainment destination in New England. Under Krafts leadership, the Patriots and the Revolution have delivered three league

championships and nine conference titles, while his private-nancing of Gillette Stadium has given fans a world-class facility in which to enjoy New Englands championship tradition. Krafts long-standing support of soccer in the United States dates back to his efforts in the early 1990s to secure Foxborough as one of the nine host venues for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. Personal A native of Brookline, Mass., Kraft attended local public schools before entering Columbia University on an academic scholarship. Upon graduation, he received a fellowship to attend Harvard Business School, where he earned a masters degree in business administration. Krafts love affair with football and the Patriots began decades ago. A Patriots fan since their AFL days in the 1960s, Kraft attended games at each of the teams Boston venues: Boston University Field, Fenway Park, Boston College Alumni Stadium and Harvard Stadium. When the team moved to then Schaefer Stadium in 1971, Kraft invested in season tickets for his family. He credits the memories and experiences shared with his family and other Patriots fans during those years for his passionate pursuit of ownership of the franchise. Kraft serves on the board of directors for Viacom. He is also on the executive committee for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where he established the Robert K. Kraft Family Blood Donor Center. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Massachusetts Competitive Partnership. He

Jonathan A. Kraft is the president of The Kraft Group, the holding company of the Kraft familys varied business interests. He is also the president of the three-time Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots. As president of the Patriots, Kraft oversees the management and strategic planning of each department within the organization. He also works closely with his father to represent the Patriots in all league matters and has served on multiple NFL owner committees. Krafts NFL obligations are only a small part of his day-to-day responsibilities, which are as diversied as the many different companies he oversees. The Kraft Group has a variety of interests concentrated in ve specic areas: the distribution of forest products, paper and packaging manufacturing, sports and entertainment, real estate development and private equity and venture investing. As president, Kraft is responsible for overseeing the operations of each division. Since his family purchased the team in 1994, Kraft has been the day-to-day driving force behind the rebuilding and rebranding of the franchise, bringing long-overdue stability to the once wayward organization. It has been a remarkable transformation, as the Patriots have evolved from worst to rst in many categories, both on and off the eld. Once tenants in the leagues poorest venue, the Patriots now play in one of the NFLs premier stadiums. Once last in the league in revenues, the Patriots now rank among the leagues elite. Once a cellar dweller, the Patriots are now a perennial power. In the rst 19 years of the Kraft familys ownership, the Patriots have won more games and more often than any other NFL team, and Kraft has successfully implemented many initiatives that have accelerated the franchises many worst-to-rst transitions. In the past decade, the Patriots set multiple NFL records and earned Team of the Decade acclaim from multiple publications. During the rst decade of the 2000s, the Patriots established three NFL consecutive win streak records with a 10-game win streak in the postseason, a 21-game overall win streak (including playoff games) and a 21-game regular season win streak. Overall, the Patriots won 126 games during the decade, the most by any NFL team in one decade in the 93-year history of the league. The Patriots also became just the second team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in four years and nished the decade with more Super Bowl titles (3), conference titles

(4), division titles (7), playoff wins (14), victories in a single season (18) and victories in a regular season (16) than any other team. During that time (2001-10), the Patriots won 121 regular season games and 135 games overall, the most by any franchise during any 10-year span in NFL history. Of all the teams recent achievements, arguably the most signicant contribution to the organizations future success was securing nancial approval for the construction of a new world-class stadium, the rst of its kind in the franchises history. Kraft developed the creative private-nancing strategy for the $325 million construction of Gillette Stadium. Many nancial experts dismissed the viability of his plan, which relied on year-round club memberships for new clientele rather than the more conventional sale of private seat licenses to existing season ticket holders. Krafts unprecedented plan was considered a nancial risk, but proved to be universally successful. Throughout the stadium initiative, no one was more involved in each phase of the project, including the planning, construction, opening and ongoing operation and development of Gillette Stadium. Kraft worked closely with stadium designers to create a world-class sports and entertainment facility that would highlight features indigenous to New England. His team not only delivered on the promise of a fan-friendly facility, but did so on time and under budget. Kraft and the project team also drew praise for innovative environmental practices. In June of 2001, the Environmental Business Council presented The Kraft Group with the Environmental Award for Corporate Leadership. In May of 2002, the Kraft Group received New Englands Environmental Merit Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the development and construction of Gillette Stadium. In 2002, Jonathan and Robert Kraft received the Sports Industrialists of the Year award, presented annually by Sports Business Daily. The Krafts opened the year celebrating New Englands rst Super Bowl championship. They christened their new stadium just a few months later, earning various awards and acclaim for the project. They negotiated a new naming rights partnership with Gillette and celebrated a spectacular grand

opening by hosting the 2002 season premiere of Monday Night Football as Super Bowl champions, presenting both the stadium and their 2001 Super Bowl banner to the fans of New England. One month later, the Krafts Major League Soccer franchise, the New England Revolution, won the Eastern Conference to qualify for the MLS Cup, which drew over 61,000 fans to Gillette Stadium, the then-largest crowd in MLS history. Prior to the Kraft familys ownership, the Patriots fan base was limited in range and scope. As a lifelong Patriots fan, Kraft was committed to expanding the Patriots fan base through an innovative multimedia outreach. Under his directive, the Patriots became the rst professional sports team to launch an ofcial Web site in March of 1995. Just two years later, the team debuted the rst use of streaming video, offering a nightly video update. The Patriots other Internet initiatives include a highly successful e-commerce division, providing Patriots fans around the world easy access to Patriots merchandise and apparel. In 2004, the team showed their commitment to globalizing the Patriots brand when they launched the NFLs rst Chinese-language version of their website. Entering the 2013 season, the Patriots have 174 registered fan clubs in 32 countries. The Patriots are also among the top NFL teams in the NFL in terms of social media presence, with more than four million Facebook fans and 600,000 Twitter followers. As chair of the leagues digital committee, Kraft continues to seek innovative ways to enhance the day of game experience for all of our fans. Gillette Stadium features one of the leagues only ubiquitous WiFi solutions, allowing fans to stay connected throughout the game on their mobile devices. The Patriots mobile app, which gives fans in-stadium access to live streaming of NFL RedZone, among other content,
is one of the most advanced in the league. In April of 1995, the Patriots began publishing Patriots Football Weekly, the rst full-color weekly publication offered by a sports team. It appears on newsstands throughout New England and is distributed to Patriots fans throughout the world. In September of 2011, the team launched the iPad-version of PFW, making the Patriots one of the rst sports teams in the world to publish a subscription-based digital publication. Following the Super Bowl XXXVI championship, Kraft commissioned the production of a DVD entitled 3 Games to Glory, providing fans an opportunity to re-live three of the most memorable games in franchise history. Since then, he has overseen the production of its sequels, 3 Games to Glory II, and 3 Games to Glory III, each featuring over ve hours of behind-the-scenes content on a twodisc DVD set. The Patriots were the rst team to produce and sell such extensive commemorative DVDs. A Williams College graduate, Kraft also earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. He is on the board of directors for several organizations, including the Childrens Hospital Trust and Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. Kraft also serves as a trustee at Williams College, Belmont Hill School and Massachusetts General Hospital. He is also a member of the Boad of Deans Advisors of Harvard Business School. Kraft is active in youth athletics, coaching Pop Warner football, youth soccer and Little League baseball in the greater Boston area. In 2006, he was the recipient of the Warner Award, named after Glenn S. Pop Warner. The award is presented annually and is considered Pop Warners highest national honor. Jonathan and his wife, Patti, have three children.

For ve straight seasons from 2003-07, Belichicks teams won the AFC East title and advanced in the playoffs, with the Patriots ve straight years of playoff advancement tying the second longest streak in NFL history. The only other NFL coach to have 10 consecutive winning seasons with one team since the 1970 merger was Tom Landry, who led the Dallas Cowboys to 16 consecutive winning seasons (1970-1985). Belichick has compiled a career playoff record of 18-8, with his .692 playoff winning percentage placing him fth in NFL history behind Vince Lombardi (9-1, .900), Tom Flores (8-3, .727), Bill Walsh (10-4, .714) and Joe Gibbs (17-7, .708).

Since the beginning of the 2003 season, New England is 32-4 (.889) in regular season games following a loss, dropping back-to-back regular-season contests just four times over that span. Another hallmark of Belichicks teams has been their ability to constantly succeed against top competition.

Belichicks recent accomplishments are the latest triumphs in an NFL coaching career that began in 1975 and during which he has helped produce ve Super Bowl titles, eight conference championships and 16 division titles. Now in his 39th season in the NFL, he has more years of NFL experience than any of the other 31 active head coaches. He won his rst two Super Bowls as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants in 1986 and again in 1990 before claiming three Super Bowl championships with the Patriots. Belichick launched his coaching career in 1975 with the Baltimore Colts and continued as an assistant coach with Detroit (1976-77), Denver (1978) and the New York Giants (1979-1990). Once he became Patriots head coach, Belichick needed just one season to successfully implement his plan for success. In 2001, his second season in charge, the Patriots rebounded from a 5-11 record in 2000 to improve to 11-5, tying what was then the franchise regular-season record for wins. With a 20-17 victory over the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI, the Patriots tied the franchises then-record of 14 overall wins. In 2003 and 2004, the Patriots eclipsed those marks in each season, posting identical 14-2 records in the regular season and notching 17 total wins and a Super Bowl title in each year. From 2003-04, Belichick directed the Patriots through the most prosperous two-year period for any team in NFL history, netting back-to-back Super Bowl victories and consecutive 17-2 campaigns.

An overall winning streak of 21 consecutive games, including the postseason also unprecedented in NFL annals spanned the two seasons. New England was undefeated at home in both 2003 and 2004, and set a franchise record by winning 21 straight home games from 2002-05. The 2004 season saw the Patriots tie the regularseason record by a defending Super Bowl champion (14-2). New England capped off the year with another memorable playoff run, culminating in a 24-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX that made Belichick just the fourth head coach in NFL history to win at least three Super Bowl titles. Only one coach (Pittsburghs Chuck Noll, 4) has won more Super Bowls. Belichicks three Super Bowl titles tie Washingtons Joe Gibbs and San Franciscos Bill Walsh for second place on the NFLs all-time list.

In 2010, Coach Belichick led a very young squad to an NFL-best 14-2 record, a division title, its eighth playoff appearance in his 11 seasons as New Englands head coach and received several major awards in the process. Belichick was named Associated Press Coach of the Year for the third time, joining Don Shula (four-time winner) and Chuck Knox as the only three-time winners. In addition, Belichick earned Peter Kings SI.com and Pro Football Weekly Coach of the Year. Coach Belichick guided the Patriots to a league best 518 points scored, third in franchise history behind the NFL record 589 points in 2007 and seventh in NFL history. One reason New England scored more than 500 points for the second time in team history was the club record +28 turnover differential. Belichicks constant emphasis on protecting the football paid off with two NFL records. The Patriots went seven consecutive games without committing a turnover. No other NFL team had gone longer than four straight games without turning the ball over. The Patriots had just 10 turnovers in 2010 (5 interceptions and 5 fumbles), setting an NFL record for fewest turnovers in a season. Belichick returned to the Patriots as head coach after three seasons with the New York Jets (1997-99) as the teams assistant head coach/secondary coach, holding the responsibility of calling the teams defensive plays. In 1998, the Jets surrendered just 266 points, propelling the team to its rst division title. After nishing the regular season with a franchise-best 12-4 overall record, the Jets advanced to the AFC Championship game. In his rst season with the Jets in 1997, his defense surrendered just 287 points, an average of 17.9 points per game, marking a signicant 10.5-point improvement per game from 1996.

Prior to joining the Patriots, Belichick spent ve seasons (1991-95) rebuilding the Cleveland Browns, whose 3-13 nish the year prior to his arrival was the worst in the history of the franchise. By 1994, the Browns were again one of NFLs best teams, boasting the secondbest record in the AFC. Belichicks rst head coaching opportunity came following the 1990 season, when his defensive efforts with the New York Giants helped claim a second Super Bowl title in ve years. At the age of 38, he became the NFLs youngest head coach. In his rst season, Belichick began the rebuilding process by restoring the foundation of the aging squad he inherited. In 1991, the Browns improved to 6-10 and played in 11 games that were decided by a touchdown or less. Following back-to-back 7-9 campaigns in 1992 and 1993, the Browns improved to 11-5 in 1994, a mark that is still tied for the second highest victory total in the 61year history of the Browns franchise. The 1994 squad was dened by its defense, which allowed a league-low 204 points. In their return to the playoffs, the Browns defeated the Patriots, 20-13, in a rst-round Wild Card game on New Years Day 1995. The 1995 season was disrupted by the mid-season

blocked punt for a touchdown and one kickoff fumble return for a touchdown. Of the 12 NFL players that have returned two punts for a touchdown in the same game, three have done so under the guidance of Scott OBrien: Eric Metcalf with Cleveland in 1993, Jermaine Lewis with Baltimore in 1997 and Steve Smith with Carolina in 2002. While there have been 12 teams that have had at least two kickoff returns for a touchdown in the same game, there has been only one time in NFL history that two different players have returned kickoffs for a touchdown in the same game since the 1970 merger. That accomplishment occurred under OBrien in Baltimore during the 1998 season when Patrick Johnson and Corey Harris returned consecutive kickoffs for a touchdown vs. Minnesota on Dec. 13. It is also the only time since the merger that two different players have returned consecutive kicks for a touchdown. Over six seasons from 1999-2004, OBrien served as the Carolina Panthers assistant head coach/special teams, presiding over a unit that produced 11 special teams touchdowns during that period while allowing the lowest opponent kickoff return average (19.8) over that span. During OBriens tenure in Carolina, the Panthers had a league-high six kickoffs returned for touchdowns and were one of only two NFL teams to not allow a kickoff return for a touchdown over that span. OBrien began his NFL coaching career when Belichick hired him to coach the Cleveland Browns special teams in 1991.

Under OBriens tutelage, Cleveland punt returner Eric Metcalf earned Pro Bowl honors in 1993 and 1994 while leading the NFL with four punt returns for touchdowns over those two seasons. When the Browns franchise moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens in 1996, OBrien remained with the club and served for three more seasons (1996-98) as special teams coach. Baltimore had six special teams touchdowns in those three seasons, including four on punt returns. OBrien coached for 11 seasons in the college ranks before entering the NFL. He got his start in coaching at his alma mater, working as an assistant coach at Wisconsin-Superior from 1980-82.

COACHING
Dante Scarnecchia is a 44-year coaching veteran who is enjoying his 32nd season as an NFL assistant. He owns the longest coaching tenure in Patriots history, now entering his 30th season on the Patriots sidelines and is the longest current tenured NFL coach. The last NFL coach to garner at least 30 seasons with one team was Dick Hoak, who spent an NFL-record 35 seasons as an assistant with Pittsburgh. Since joining the NFL in 1982, he has spent all but two seasons (1989-90) with the Patriots. Scarnecchia has the distinction of being the only coach in franchise history to be a member of all seven Super Bowl teams. He has been on the Patriots coaching staff during 17 of the franchises 20 playoff seasons and has coached in 36 of the 40 playoff games in team history. For the 15th consecutive season, Scarnecchias primary responsibility will be the offensive line, a position he has coached for 28 of his 44 seasons in the profession. Bill Belichick named Scarnecchia the Patriots assistant head coach/offensive line coach on Feb. 1, 2000. Throughout Scarnecchias tenure as offensive line coach, the offense has ourished, nishing near the top of the major statistical categories nearly every season. One of Scarnecchias major coaching accomplishments came in 2009, when the Patriots offensive line allowed just 18 sacks, the fewest in New England history since the NFL moved to a 16-game schedule in 1978. In 2007, Scarnecchia was named SI.coms NFL Assistant Coach of the Year. Anchored by an offensive line that sent three players to the Pro Bowl (C Dan Koppen, T Matt Light and G Logan Mankins), the Patriots offense broke several NFL records, including total points and touchdowns. The offensive line powered a Patriots rushing attack that posted the franchises highest average yards per rush in 22 years (4.10). Protected by the line, NFL MVP Tom Brady broke the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season (50) and led the league in both passing yards (4,806) and passer rating (117.2, also a franchise record). New Englands protection up front was a signicant contributor to the teams three Super Bowl winning seasons. In 2004, the line opened holes for running back Corey Dillon to set a single-season franchise record with 1,635 rushing yards and led the NFL with 109.0 yards per game played. In 2003, the offensive line did not allow a sack in any of the teams three postseason games despite 126 pass attempts. In 2001, Scarnecchia worked with a unit that featured three new starters, but still produced a powerful rushing
attack and a balanced passing attack on the way to the franchises rst Super Bowl victory. Prior to becoming offensive line coach, Scarnecchia coached the Patriots special teams units for two seasons (1997-98). Scarnecchia originally joined the Patriots and made his NFL coaching debut in 1982 as a member of Ron Meyers staff. He coached the tight ends and special teams for the Patriots for seven seasons (1982-88) before moving on to Indianapolis with Meyer in 1989. He rejoined the Patriots in 1991 after spending two seasons (1989-90) as the Colts offensive line coach. From 1991 to 1992, he coached the tight ends and special teams on Dick MacPhersons staff. On Nov. 4, 1992, MacPherson fell ill and appointed Scarnecchia to serve as the teams spokesman in his absence. Scarnecchia fullled the obligation for seven of the Patriots nal eight games and held the responsibilities of the head coach for both of the Patriots victories that season. In 1993, he was the only Patriots assistant retained from the previous staff. He was appointed special assistant from 1993-94, which was re-dened as defensive assistant from 1995-96. During that time, he assisted defensive coordinator Al Groh with the development of the teams linebacking corps. His coaching career began in 1970 as the offensive line coach at California Western University. He moved to Iowa State in 1973, where he served as the assistant offensive line and assistant defensive backeld coach. He spent the 1975 and 1976 campaigns at Southern Methodist University, before becoming the University of Pacics offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator from 1977 through 1978. In 1979, Scarnecchia coached at Northern Arizona and then accepted an opportunity to return to Meyers staff at SMU as the offensive line coach in 1980 and 1981. In 1982, Meyer was hired as the head coach of the New England Patriots and Scarnecchia was among a number of the SMU assistants who joined Meyers staff in New England.

Q U A R T E R B A C K
Tom Brady was drafted by the New England Patriots in the sixth round (199th overall) of the 2000 NFL Draft.
H Brady is an 12-time Patriots team captain, elected to the position by his teammates every season since 2002. H Once again had at least one touchdown pass in all 16 games of the 2012 season, marking the third straight year he has done so and the rst time a quarterback has thrown a TD pass in every game for three straight seasons in NFL history. Since the NFL went to a 16-game season in 1978, only seven quarterbacks have thrown for at least one touchdown in each game in a season. Tom Brady and Drew Brees are also the rst to do so in two straight seasons (2010, 2011). H With 34 touchdown passes in 2012, reached 30 TD passes for the third straight season and became just the fth player in NFL history with 30 or more touchdown passes in four separate seasons. H Finished 2011 with 5,235 passing yards and joins Drew Brees (5,177 in 2012, 5,476 in 2011 and 5,069 in 2008), Dan Marino (5,084 in 1984) and Matthew Stafford (5,038 in 2011) as the only players in NFL history to reach 5,000 passing yards in a single season. H Two-time NFL MVP (2007 & 2010). H In 2010, became the rst player in NFL history to be unanimously selected as the Associated Press Most Valuable Player. H Bradys overall record is 160-48 (.769) in regularseason and playoff games. It is the best record of any NFL quarterback in the Super Bowl Era (since 1966) with at least 100 starts. H Brady is 17-7 (.708) in the playoffs, the highest winning percentage in NFL history and his 17 total playoff wins are the most in NFL history. H Bradys touchdown-to-interception ratio (2.69) ranks second in NFL history among all players with 2,000 or more passing attempts. H Brady has been elected to the Pro Bowl eight times in his career (2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012). H Threw at least one touchdown pass in 52 straight regular season games from 2010-2013. Bradys 52 straight games are second all time, behind Drew Brees (54). H Won and NFL-record 31 consecutive home games from 2006-11. H In 2010, Brady set career records for touchdown-tointerception ratio (9.0) and interception percentage (0.8), throwing only four interceptions on 492 pass attempts in the regular season. H Set an NFL record by attempting 358 consecutive passes from 2010-11 without throwing an interception. H Has amassed 19 four-touchdown games and 55 300N E W EN G L A N D PAT R IO T S
yard passing games in his 13-year career. H Has thrown 347 career touchdown passes, good for fourth all-time in NFL history. H In 2007, Brady was named the NFLs Most Valuable Player, setting all-time NFL records for most touchdown passes in a season (50), highest touchdown-interception differential (+42), most games with three or more touchdown passes (12), most touchdown passes in a month (20 in October 2007), and highest completion percentage in a game (92.9 percent on Jan. 12, 2008). Bradys 117.2 passer rating in 2007 was the second highest of all-time, while his 4,806 passing yards were the third highest single-season total in league history up to that point. H In addition to the NFL records Brady set in 2007, he also set Patriots franchise records for highest completion percentage in a season (68.9 percent), highest passer rating in a season (117.2), highest passer rating in a game (158.3 on Oct. 21, 2007) and most touchdown passes in a game (6 on Oct. 21, 2007). H In 2007, Brady contributed to the Patriots establishment of several NFL single-season team records, including most points scored in a season (589), largest point differential in a season (+315) and most touchdowns in a season (75). The Patriots became the rst team in NFL history to complete a 16-0 regular season and tied the leagues single-season mark with 18 overall victories. H Brady and receiver Randy Moss set an NFL singleseason record in 2007 for most touchdown passes between a passer and a receiver (23), with Moss 23 touchdown catches also setting a league record. H Brady won 76 of his rst 100 regular season starts, tying Roger Staubachs mark for most victories by a quarterback in his rst 100 starts during the Super Bowl Era (since 1966). H Brady is the only quarterback in NFL history to start and win three Super Bowls before his 28th birthday, having quarterbacked the Patriots to victories in Super Bowl XXXVI when he was 24 years old, Super Bowl XXXVIII (26) and Super Bowl XXXIX (27). H Brady is the fourth quarterback in NFL history to lead his team to three or more Super Bowl wins, joining Terry Bradshaw (4), Joe Montana (4) and Troy Aikman (3). H Brady owns two Pete Rozelle Awards as Super Bowl MVP (XXXVI and XXXVIII). He is just the fth player in Super Bowl history to earn multiple MVP awards, joining Joe Montana (3), Terry Bradshaw (2), Eli Manning (2) and Bart Starr (2).Montana, Bradshaw and Starr are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. H Brady led a game-winning drive to break a tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter of each of the Patriots three Super Bowl victories, becoming the only quarterback in NFL history to lead three such game-winning drives in the Super Bowl. H Brady tied an NFL record in 2005 by distributing his 26

EXTRA POINTS

H A quarterback at Kent State, he passed for 1,820 yards as a senior and added 1,551 rushing yards to break the schools singleseason record for total offense set by Joshua Cribbs in 2003. H Had an offer from the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League to play quarterback but chose to switch to receiver and play in the NFL. It was hard for the fact that you never played the other position [receiver], so you have a huge road ahead of you to learn something at the highest level in the world to it. But the easy part was that you didnt grow up wanting to go to the CFL. I grew up wanting to go to the NFL, having that dream, he said.
H Caught four passes for 28 yards (7.0 avg) and his second career regular-season touchdown reception at Baltimore (9/23). Also returned one punt for 11 yards. H Was inactive due to injury at Seattle (10/14), vs. Denver (10/7) and at Buffalo (9/30).

Had the longest run from scrimmage for a wide receiver in Patriots history with a 47-yard scamper in the fourth quarter. Also added a 49-yard punt return in the fourth quarter. H Recorded his second straight game with two touchdowns - a 22-yard fumble return on a kickoff and a career-long 56-yard touchdown reception in the win at N.Y. Jets (11/22). Also returned two punts for 32 yards (16.0 avg) and had one rush for three yards. Left the game in the third quarter with a head injury and did not return. H Was placed on Injured Reserve with a foot injury on Dec. 4, 2012 after suffering the injury in the win at Miami (12/2). 2011 (13/0, 3/0) H Appeared in 13 games and played offense, defense and special teams throughout the season.

A cutting edge, highly interactive experience, The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon showcases the history of the New England Patriots while providing a permanent home for the team's hall of fame. The facility opened in the fall of 2008. The Hall features 30,000 square feet of exhibit space and utilizes the latest in design concepts and multimedia technology to bring the story of the Patriots to life. The Hall also explores the history of football in New England and features an integrated math and sciences program to benet visiting school groups. The Hall is a unique sports hall of fame and experience, and a must-visit attraction for any Patriots fan.
The Patriots Hall of Fame was established in 1991 as a way to honor the greatest players in franchise history. A selection committee of media and staff was formed to select players for induction and appropriately, John Hannah was the rst player enshrined. Eight additional players were inducted from 1992-95. Andre Tippett (1999) and Bruce Armstrong (2001) rounded out the Patriots Hall of Fames rst 11 members. In 2007, the Patriots introduced a new method of selecting players for the team's hall of fame in advance of the opening of The Hall at Patriot Place. Moving forward, one player will be enshrined in the Patriots Hall of Fame each year, with a nomination committee determining three finalists each spring and fans voting for the final choice through Patriots.com each spring.
The Patriots formed a senior selection committee to ensure that early era players are not overlooked in the voting process. The committee consists of veteran media and staff members who gather to discuss candidates who have been retired for at least 25 years to identify the player most deserving of Patriots Hall of Fame recognition.

This was the first of eight championship games involving the Patriots. (also Super Bowls XX, XXXI, XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLII and XLVI).
