Robby Anderson has visions of Tom Brady dancing in his head.
The Jets’ free-agent wide receiver admitted Wednesday morning that he literally just dreamed that he was on the same team as the greatest quarterback in NFL history. As Tom Brady mulls his future, Anderson wondered aloud about the prospects of playing with the six-time Super Bowl champion.
“I didn’t see like the actual colors of the jersey, but we were literally on the same practice field at practice together,” Anderson said. “That would be a dream come true.”
The Jets would like to re-sign the 26-year-old Anderson, who is exploring his options during his first offseason as a free agent.
