Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end, had the entire country in shock back in 2013 when he was arrested and charged with the first-degree murder of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player.
Hernandez was drafted in 2010 in the fourth round by the New England Patriots, with whom he played for three seasons before things went terribly wrong.
Just weeks before he was charged with orchestrating the brutal murder of a friend, he conducted an interview where he spoke proudly about being a “role model” for the Hispanic community.
The Boston Herald reported he was speaking with Pats fan Maria Menounos on her syndicated TV show “Extra,” when the former New England Patriots tight end said he tried to give back to the community by inspiring Hispanics to pursue success.
“I just try to be a role model,” Aaron Hernandez said in an April 2013 interview.
“And when I see Hispanics who look up to me, I try to lead them in the right direction and hopefully it gives a lot of Hispanics out there a drive to be able to be successful because there’s not that many Hispanics in the NFL and it’s just an honor to be one.”
Later in that interview, according to the Boston Herald, Hernandez added, “I hope so,” when asked if he had high hopes for the Patriots that season.
As we all know, he would never make it to that season.
What NFL Fans Thought About Aaron Hernandez Being A Role Model

Back in 2013, Aaron Hernandez said he wanted to be a role model to the Hispanic community.
Weeks later, he would be arrested for murder. He would be convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Hernandez would be tried for a double murder, get acquitted of it, and ultimately take his own life.
Here is how social media responded to his old comments:
“Hmm.. yea, sounds about right 🤔🤔,” one fan said.
“He’s the NFL version of Chris Benoit, unfortunately. Ruined his career,” a second person stated.
“Dude was mentally disturbed and murdered someone. Hell of a role model. 🙄,” a third person added.
“Not a single truth was said by Hernandez during this interview,” one final person stated.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.
GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.
GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.
Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.
For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.
