[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think it was  because his coach Urban Meyer did not want him back on the team  and suggested he try to get drafted by the NFL.

I mean probably, but why?

my husband claimed that Meyer warned the Pats NOT to draft him.  says he read it somewhere.

It feels like they all knew they had a ticking time bomb on their hands.[/quote]

NP. It doesn't say the Pats in particular, but there was such a story about Urban Meyer telling that to an NFL scout: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/college/othercolleges/2018/09/20/urban-meyer-told-nfl-team-not-draft-aaron-hernandez-per-report/1367136002/

The Pats have taken chances on behavior problems before. Belichick has a no-nonsense system and some problem players respond well to that (i.e. Randy Moss). If it doesn't work, they get cut. He was a star player with them for 3 years. But I don't think the Pats or anyone else imagined that Hernandez would turn into a serial killer, though. Why should they? Plenty of young men get into trouble with the law, drugs, violent fights, etc. but almost never do they end up murderers.

And the CTE is something of a red herring. Not to say that it didn't affect him and isn't alarming, but [b]Hernandez lived a violent life from a young age, either from abuse or his own actions. There's no way to differentiate the effects of that from the football. And there have been plenty of NFL players with CTE and none of them killed a bunch of people except him.  Suicide, yes, murder, no. Too much focus on CTE wrongly absolves him of responsibility for heinous acts.[/b][/quote]
