North Carolina quarterback Max Johnson’s 2024 season is unfortunately done after suffering an injury on Friday night against Minnesota.

It was an emotional moment for Johnson, who seemed to know at the moment that his injury was serious, but his family was also clearly devastated.

Johnson’s mom was spotted on the Fox broadcast with her head in her hand, as she shed tears for her son following the injury. And that scene got former quarterback and Fox broadcaster Brock Huard emotional as well.

"My mom was a three-time quarterback mom," Huard explained. "It’s a hard job. It’s kind of like a pastor’s wife. It can be a very lonely place.

"Every eyeball judges a quarterback on every single play, and moms carry that weight. They sense it. They feel it. They hear it in ways . . . it’s kind of hard for me to watch, to be honest with you, because you also know how much her son has endured. Multiple stops, places, adversity to just fight for this opportunity.

Huard’s voice seemed a bit broken as he was explaining what a quarterback mom goes through, but it was a hard scene to watch considering Johnson’s college football journey.

The 6-foot-5 left-handed passer started his college career at LSU, where he threw for 3883 yards with 35 touchdowns to seven interceptions in 18 games
