Talented members of the team like WR Andrel Anthony Jr., JJ McCarthy, and Donovan Edwards, and Anthony Jr. are leaving the team but their strong connection has not waned at all.

Recently, Andrel Anthony Jr. took to social media to express his love for the other two, which McCarthy quickly shared in an emotional eight-word message.
Andrel Anthony Jr. recently shared a heartfelt post on Twitter about how his teammates, saying, “Nobody I’m more proud of than these 2.. You all took that feeling we were left with after this game, & used that to drive you all. It’s 2 AM in indoor running routes after games. i love yall, my brothers for life.”
