Brady 'happy' Super Bowl jerseys were recovered
Not only is Tom Brady getting his Super Bowl LI jersey back, he's also set to be reunited with the jersey from the New England Patriots' Super Bowl win two seasons ago thanks to efforts of law enforcement - and the quarterback expressed his gratitude in a statement Monday.
"I am happy my jerseys from SB 49 and SB 51 have been recovered, and I want to thank all of the law enforcement agencies involved." said Brady, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. "I know they worked hard on this case - and it is very much appreciated. Hopefully when I get the jerseys back I can make something very positive come from this experience."
