Auburn quarterback Bo Nix received support from current and former Auburn players alike after announcing his season-ending injury on social media on Sunday.

Former quarterbacks, current basketball and football players and most everyone in between sent words of encouragement to the third-year quarterback, with the word “tough” being used the most to describe Nix.




Nix stayed in the game after appearing to be injured for three entire drives before being pulled from the lineup once the game was out of reach. He was fighting through obvious pain just to stay out there with his team.




Others took to the comment section of Nix's Instagram post to show their support.
