SEASON 1 SYNOPSIS: Around the mid 2000's, and into the 2010's, Aaron Hernandez was a football darling. While at the University of Florida, Hernandez was part of a team that earned All-American honors, and he was considered to be one of the best tight ends in the country. Despite concerns over his past, and size, Hernandez was drafted as a fourth round pick for the New England Patriots in 2010. Three years later, his life and legacy came crashing down when he was arrested for the murder of Odin Lloyd. In the aftermath, the Patriots cut Hernandez; which was followed by a lengthy legal battle, while two other murders and a shooting (connected to Hernandez) came to public light. In 2017, Hernandez was found dead in his cell; his death ruled a suicide.—brianfabulous
