New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd is in “good condition” after being shot twice in the gut outside a celeb hotspot in Midtown Manhattan, his best pal told The Post.
“He’s all good right now. He’s in good condition. He’s doing real good,” said Ernest Quander, one of Boyd’s closest friends from his days playing ball at the University of Texas.
“He’s a soldier, through tough times” Quander added. “He’s fine. He’s fine.”
Boyd was left in critical condition and clinging to life after being gunned down on the street outside a restaurant in the heart of Manhattan around 2 a.m. Sunday.
The 29-year-old was struck by two gunshots to the abdomen, while two luxury cars – one believed to be carrying the gunman – sped away from the scene.
No official updates on Boyd’s health have been given since he was listed as in critical but stable condition after being rushed to Bellevue Hospital while slipping in and out of consciousness, sources told The Post.
But Quander said he was on his way to NYC to be at his friend’s side.
The two first met while Quander was a 23-year-old coach, and Boyd was a freshman college player.
Despite their close age, Quander was described by KETK as a “father figure” to Boyd after the cornerback made it to the NFL.
