Even though Tom Brady left the New England Patriots in 2020 to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he'll always be loved in Foxborough.

During his Patriots tenure, Brady led New England to 17 division titles, 13 AFC Championship Games, nine Super Bowl appearances, and six Super Bowl titles.

He's universally known as the 'GOAT' of the NFL and that really isn't up for debate. Despite everything that he's done in the NFL, one of his former teammates made an interesting comment about Brady.

Patriots News: Phillip Dorsett Said Tom Brady Isn't the Most Talented QB He's Played With

Receiver Phillip Dorsett played with the Patriots from 2017-2019, reeling in 73 receptions (114 targets) for 881 yards and eight touchdowns.

Even though he played with Brady for three seasons, Dorsett said the seven-time Super Bowl champion isn't the most talented quarterback that he's played with. His answer was Andrew Luck instead.

Dorsett appeared on the "The Money Down Podcast" and discussed playing with Luck.

He said, "I always say this to everybody. People ask me because they know I played with Tom. They was like, ‘Dang, who was the best quarterback you played with?’ I be like, ‘Be honest with you, when it comes to talent, it was Andrew Luck, for sure. Talent-wise, Andrew was different. He was just a natural born leader. He was still young, and the way he carried himself you would think this man was a 10-year vet."

The Miami product added, "He was tough as hell, athletic. …Bro, when you watch him play basketball, you be like, ‘Damn, like, this man is really an all-around athlete. He had a strong arm, was smart, was accurate. It’s just injuries, bro. It’s football.”

Dorsett made it known that he thought Luck was the more physically gifted signal-caller and decided to roll with him. He played with Luck and the Indianapolis Colts from 2015-2016. During those two seasons, he recorded 51 catches for 753 receiving yards, and three touchdowns.

When Luck was entering the NFL, he was known as the can't-miss prospect. He was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts and did showcase incredible talent.

In six NFL seasons, Luck completed 60.8% of his passes for 23,671 yards with 171 passing scores and 83 interceptions. After battling constant injuries, the Stanford product decided to hang it up in Aug. 2019 at just 29 years old.

Yes, we know Luck was extremely talented but Dorsett wanted to make sure to give his former teammate his flowers.

He suited up with both guys and decided to give Luck the edge. One thing that's a lock is this statement won't go over too well among the Patriots faithful.
