"I hope this weekend is not for me, it's for us," said Brady to former teammates who were at the ceremony.
The video also included all the planning that took place to create an event of that magnitude.
"I'm grateful for everyone who played a part in this amazing journey," Brady said.
The 199th overall pick in the 2000 draft, Brady brought six Super Bowl titles to New England and earned the MVP award in four of them. He won three NFL MVP awards while setting numerous franchise and league records during his two unforgettable decades with the organization.
"The greatest retirement event of an athlete, which is only fitting, for the greatest football player of all time," Mike Tirico added.
