FOXBORO — Four months removed from their sixth Super Bowl win this century, the Patriots are ready to party.
New England will have its Super Bowl ring ceremony Thursday, with owner Robert Kraft planning the usual festivities before the players receive their new hardware. The only Patriot receiving his sixth ring is quarterback Tom Brady, no stranger to nights like these.
"It's pretty special to be in this position and to accept the ring and to have that for the rest of your life," he said. "It is something you pass down to your kids. It means a lot. That 2018 team accomplished a lot. It's a great night to celebrate. You will have the pictures for the rest of your life. It will be fun. Everyone is looking forward to it."
The Patriots teased the ring reveal on Twitter on Wednesday night.

Center David Andrews, for one, seems excited.

"He puts on a great party," he said. "He's been planning it. I have been fortunate to be at a few over the years, it's pretty cool."
