I thought this was a kind gesture by owner Robert Kraft, who's own wife, Myra, died of cancer. It sure sounds like that franchise is a close-knit family type of organization.
Tom Brady's mom is the one wearing the head scarf ^^^^^

Tom Brady's Mom, Galynn, Receives Super Bowl 51 Ring from Patriots' Robert Kraft
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft surprised Tom Brady's mother, Galynn, during the offseason with a Super Bowl 51 ring.
Per ESPN.com's Mike Reiss, despite having cancer, Galynn was able to attend Super Bowl 51 in February when her son led the Patriots to a 34-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
Brady, 40, explained that Kraft was always supportive and said it was a big surprise when the ring turned up, per Reiss:
"He's been so supportive of my family and certainly everything my mom went through and knowing firsthand how families deal with it. He was always asking, 'How's mom doing? How is she feeling?' We didn't know up until the very end whether she was going to make it to the Super Bowl. She was a big inspiration for me, and RKK knew it. It was a great surprise to all of us when the ring showed up. She deserves it."
Tom Brady Sr., the quarterback's father, revealed in June that Galynn had completed cancer treatment and was "doing great," per the Boston
