The news of former New England Patriots second-round draft pick Ron Brace's death saddened the NFL world, particularly those most familiar with the 29-year-old ex-defensive lineman.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was one of those players who expressed sadness. Ryan and Brace were teammates at Boston College from 2004-2007. They were last on the field together for a 30-16 loss to Virginia Tech in the 2007 ACC title game.
Ryan sent out a tweet Monday in remembrance of Brace.
Saddened to hear about the passing of friend and former teammate Ron Brace.
