Tom Brady has honored his former New England Patriots teammate, Ryan Mallett, who died on Tuesday at the age of 35.
"We lost a great man. Thank you for everything Ryan," Brady wrote in an Instagram story (h/t Christian Arnold of the New York Post). "Praying for the Mallett family and all their loved ones tonight."
Per Luke Matheson of Deltaplex News, Mallett was among a group of between nine to 12 people who were caught in a rip current.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office confirmed Mallett died in an apparent drowning when he was with a group of people who were struggling to make their way back to shore.
