Manage episode 507857571 series 3513574
On April 19, 2017, Aaron Hernandez — the former NFL star tight end for the New England Patriots whose meteoric rise was eclipsed by a shocking murder conviction and subsequent prison sentence — was found dead in his prison cell at the age of 27. Once a standout athlete at the University of Florida and a Super Bowl–appearing Pro Bowler, Hernandez’s career and life unraveled after his arrest and conviction for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. His fall from grace, punctuated by a highly publicized trial and posthumous revelations of brain trauma and personal struggles, made Hernandez one of the most infamous cautionary tales in modern sports history.
