Aaron Hernandez Likes His Weed

Aaron Hernandez, whom the Patriots chose in the fourth round of the NFL draft Saturday, had earned the reputation as perhaps the most dangerous pass-catching tight end prospect. He had also earned the reputation as a risky selection. According to sources with three NFL teams, the Florida product’s precipitous fall was because of multiple failed drug tests for marijuana as a collegian. Hernandez was open about his marijuana use at the Scouting Combine in February. “He admits to it,’’ said one longtime NFL executive who interviewed him there. “It’s good he did that,’’ said a college scouting official from one AFC team. “But it was enough to scare people so that he fell through three rounds.’’ Attempts to reach Hernandez were unsuccessful and the Patriots didn’t respond immediately to calls from the Globe. The Florida tight end passed his drug test at the combine, according to the executive, so he won’t start his NFL career in the league’s substance-abuse program. But because of his history, he is subject to more tests.

Well Aaron Hernandez better grow the fuck up. I guess you really can't trust someone with sleeve tattoos. They're always a little grimy. Gotta question their judgment, too because it looks silly. I'm not all that shocked to hear of his drug habit mainly because he was born and raised in Bristol, CT. You can take the boy out of the scum but you can't take the scum out of the boy. Reading this made him slip from my favorite draft pick to maybe my least. I mean how fucking dumb do you have to be? It's not a heroine habit you're trying to kick. Maybe he doesn't have this shady past, spends that time in the film room that he used for smoking weed and he's a 2nd, maybe first round pick. He'd be rolling around in dollar bills right now instead of blunt wraps. This doesn't reflect on him as a player as much as it does as a person. Like it's a character issues and right now it says he's a fucking idiot. I don't trust him to pick up on audibles that Tom Terrific calls and I don't think Tom does either. We already have Randy Moss as the resident pot head football player and he's a little more valuable to us than a 4th round draft pick who's probably only on the team because of a recommendation from Urban Meyer who is another low character guy in my opinion. Just a total asshole and ego maniac. So, no I'm not at all excited anymore about Aaron Hernandez.
