Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez—who was convicted of first-degree murder last summer—still has plenty of love for his former quarterback Tom Brady, according to a letter sent by Hernandez from the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center on Dec. 10, that was obtained by TMZ.com.
“The closest I was with was probably Brady and whom I love to death and always will and only hope the best for them.”
In the letter—that was sent to a female pen pal—Hernandez reveals that he still keeps up with his former team. “I have a TV in my cell! And yes I still root for my squad and still love all the ones I loved.”
What Hernandez’s relationship is to the intended recipient isn’t clear after he starts off the letter telling her to, “tie a cinder-block to your ankles and jump in a deep body of water,” in response to her criticism from a previous correspondence.
But back to his former teammates. Hernandez says he’s cool with “Julez” (probably Julian Edelman) and Branch (Deion) while calling “Gronk” the “BEST TE ever to walk on a football field.”
