Aaron Hernandez

Aaron Hernandez grew up in Bristol, Connecticut, where he played as the tight end for his high school football team, the Rams. He already had the body of an NFL player in his junior year and he was the best athlete that Bristol Central had ever given rise to. His father, Dennis Hernandez (The King) played for Bristol Central back in the ’70s and later for the University of Connecticut. Aaron and his brother DJ worshipped their father who consistently instilled ‘If it is to be, it is up to me” into their heads. Both boys were extremely exceptional athletes and their father knew they would be special. Aaron strived to make his father proud.

His Success

He was an All-American at the University of Florida, just like in high school. Thereafter he received the John Mackey Award as the nation’s best college tight end and entered the NFL draft. In 2010

Aaron Hernandez was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth round, which made him the youngest player in the NFL.
