Tom Brady Calls Lamar Jackson a 'Beast' on IG; Jackson Tweets 'The GOAT Spoke'

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady called University of Louisville standout Lamar Jackson a "beast" in an Instagram reply to Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders.

The 2016 Heisman Trophy winner replied with a message on Twitter early Thursday:

Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman reported Wednesday that the Pats are "the team most interested" in Jackson, with the 2018 NFL draft now just two weeks away.

New England's two selections in the first round, Nos. 23 and 31, should give it the ammunition to move up to select Jackson to become Brady's heir.

Clearly the quarterbacks are already members of the mutual admiration society.
