New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was upset when he learned that Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix suffered a season-ending injury. While speaking to reporters after the Patriots defeated the Houston Texans in the divisional round playoff game on Sunday, Maye was asked about Nix, who led the Broncos to a win over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.

“I trained with Bo before the pre-draft, got to know him well, him and his family and his wife,” Drake Maye said. First off, they are just great people, great Christians, and really enjoy being around Bo Nix and his family.

“The news, it was heartbreaking for what a player he is, the guy he is. Praying for Bo. I know he’s gonna bounce back. He’s a great player in this league, and look forward to matching up with him. We had one in college, and he got the best of me. So I know he’ll bounce back, but they’ve got a good team and should be a tough one next week.
