New England Patriots display support for Tom Brady on social media

The New England Patriots have shown their support to quarterback Tom Brady in light of his suspension by the NFL by changing their Twitter profile picture to his jersey.

The 37-year-old was suspended by the NFL for four games after he was found guilty of being generally aware that members of the Patriots' equipment staff had deflated footballs in their AFC championship win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft confirmed his unwavering support for his quarterback, while the club have maintained their stance across their social media pages.
