“You just love being around him. He kind of had a reputation as a player like, ‘Oh, he’s kind of tough no matter what.’ Not at all, just not at all. I’m just thinking of you and praying for you,” Collinsworth added.

Tirico also told a touching story about how Moss received a standing ovation at Gillette Stadium during Tom Brady’s ceremony earlier this year.
