New England Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski has revealed that his fellow тιԍнт end, the late Aaron Hernandez, used to masturbate during team meetings.

Hernandez was convicted in 2015 of killing semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd. Two years later, the 27-year-old killed himself in his prison cell days after being acquitted of most charges in a separate double-murder case.

On the field, Hernandez’s talent could not be questioned and few knew him better than Gronkowski. Now, in an interview on Bussin’ With The Boys, Gronkowski said he was blown away by Hernandez’s ability when they were teammates but he quickly became known for his wild side. 

‘We heard stories of him being in the team meeting room, like beating off. Doing crazy s***,’ the podcast cohost Taylor Lewan said to Gronkowski.

‘I mean, possibly,’ Gronkowski said, theatrically, as if to confirm that it is true.

‘That’s a possibility, that one. I may or may have not seen it live. I’m not going to confirm nor deny.

Gronkowski said that troubled star Hernandez was often doing ‘crazy s***’ 

‘But I love crazy s*** though. I didn’t mind things like that. I was like “wow, that was pretty epic”. I was a wild man myself. Nothing fazed me, I encouraged it.’

In three seasons with the Patriots, Hernandez joined Gronkowski to form one of the most potent тιԍнт end duos in NFL history. 

In 2011, his second season, Hernandez caught 79 pᴀsses for 910 yards and seven touchdowns to help the team reach the Super Bowl, and he was rewarded with a $40 million contract.

‘It was wild, man,’ Gronkowski added. ‘I was the guy that was truly there, throughout his whole career. In the same room, the whole entire time, as him. 

‘The talent was through the roof and if we could have kept that tandum going we would have been truly unstoppable.’

The Patriots released Hernandez in 2013, shortly after he was arrested in the killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée. 

Hernandez was convicted and sentenced to life in prison; the conviction was voided because he died before his appeals were exhausted, though that ruling was appealed.

His lawyer said in 2017 that Hernandez had Stage 3 CTE, the degenerative brain disease that can causes violent mood swings, depression and other cognitive diseases.

Hernandez did not raise CTE in his defense at either trial because he claimed actual innocence. 

Hernandez had shown signs of memory loss, impulsivity and aggression that could be attributed to CTE, his lawyer said in 2017.

A star for the University of Florida when it won the 2008 тιтle, Hernandez dropped to the fourth round of the NFL draft because of trouble in college that included a failed drug test and a bar fight.
