During the most recent NFL postseason, Utah Jazz reporter Hayley Byrnes asked a number of team members whether they preferred Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers or Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. Brady ultimately won the poll between the two quarterbacks, but Bostonians may be a little concerned about one of the votes for Rodgers.

Current Jazz forward Gordon Hayward is a high-priority offseason signing target for the Celtics, with many fans hoping that the 27-year-old will reunite with his former college head coach Brad Stevens. Hayward, however, was one of the three players who voted against Brady; in fact, he went as far to say that he “can’t stand Tom Brady.”

His explanation? Loyalty.

“I’m a Colts fan, so I can’t stand him just because he plays for the Patriots,” he told Byrnes. “I think he’s a good quarterback.”

Hayward was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and attended both high school (Brownsburg) and college (Butler University) in his home state.
