Brandon LaFell hasn't spent much time with Andy Dalton, but the wide receiver believes the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback could one day be on par with Tom Brady.

"If we continue to take the steps we're making, Andy could be a similar player like that," LaFell said.

LaFell signed with the Bengals this offseason after spending two seasons with the New England Patriots.

"Everybody respects him just like everybody respects Brady," LaFell said of Dalton's influence in Cincinnati's locker room. "How Brady demanded the best out of everybody, Andy's doing the same thing here.

"Both of those guys are smart guys. They always have the offense in the right play. They're always getting the ball to the right person at the right time. They're two different offenses, but both of those guys are winners."
