This Panthers WR says Patriots pursued him during 2021 NFL free agency

Robby Anderson has been a nice addition to the Carolina Panthers offense since he signed with the NFC South franchise as a free agent in 2020.

The veteran wide receiver didn't just receive interest from the Panthers while he was on the market. He revealed Wednesday that the New England Patriots -- who he will play against in Sunday's Week 9 game at Bank of America Stadium -- showed an interest in him at that time, too.

Anderson began his career with the New York Jets and played eight games versus Bill Belichick's Patriots defense over the first four years of his career from 2016 through 2019.
