Tom Brady Not in Sight as Payton Pritchard Lives Full Circle Moment With Patriots Legends

It wasn’t about a missing guest, though, not entirely. For Pritchard, this was about something deeper. Growing up a devoted Patriots fan, he had often imagined what it would be like to share space with the heroes who defined his childhood Sundays. But this moment promised more than a handshake and a photo-op. It hinted at a bridge between two dynasties and the chance to reflect on what it means to be a Boston champion in his own right.

It’s kind of a full-circle moment for me to be able to do this. It’s a dream,” he told the camera.
