Tom Brady has stoked the rumors that the New England Patriots are interested in quarterback prospect Lamar Jackson.
Reports surfaced this week that the Patriots are the team most interested in drafting the former Heisman Trophy winner, and Brady added more fuel to that fire Wednesday night by responding to an Instagram comment from NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders.

Jackson is currently being projected as a mid-first-round draft pick. The Patriots own the 23rd and 31st overall picks on Day 1.
