“I’ve got my boy, Mike [Evans], ready to catch,” Brady said to Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. “I don’t even know, who caught Aaron’s? Davante [Adams] left him. Tyreek [Hill] left you, Patrick. Josh, don’t worry. Someone’s going to leave you, too.”

Following Brady’s words, Josh Allen went to hug a cardboard cutout of Stefon Diggs. “I love you,” the quarterback said. Two years later, the wide receiver has left the Bills after facing several struggles in Buffalo.
