Rob Gronkowski opens up on Aaron Hernandez for first time: ‘I was definitely shook’ | New York Post 

You know at one time these 2 were def the most undefeatable tight ends matched together like none other. Patriots were on a winning streak thanks to them! It's sad things turned out the way it did with Aaron...

He didn't want to say anything bad about his friend, even though his friend was a killer.

The best tight end tandem ever

Rob Gronkowski is maybe the greatest tight end of all time, however I’ve always thought, and people have called me crazy for thinking this, that Aaron Hernandez could’ve ended up being the better player. He was faster, more athletically gifted, could move into a wideout position much more seamlessly than Gronk, and could even be used as a running back effectively when given the opportunity. It’s a shame his demons and poor decision making got the better of him, he could’ve been one of the all time greats with multiple Super Bowl rings.

Hernandez was a hell of a TE for the Patriots.

Shows what different paths took them - one chose life one chose death. When you choose the street life the gang life the need to defend a “rep” life you’ve chosen misery and death. Friendship love fun and hard work but sadly life sets up different people for different paths and it takes a whole lot of support from the outside and self discipline to refuse to go down that path for some people.

dude if Aaron never had these thug problems, he definitely could've been top 5 TE in football.

Love Rob.. I'm sure Aaron disguised himself very well around them. He now realizes why he didn't go party with the Gronk that much!🙏❤

I always thought him not opening up about their relationship was a good move on his end. The thing about psychos, is…well they are psycho! And who knows, football camaraderie goes deep, perhaps Hernandez was fond enough of Gronk to have some modicum of a relationship or friendship…especially to pen about him and his greatness before his suicide. So what do you do if your Gronk? Trash someone in public who was nothing but decent to you? Or say how you never saw it and how hard it is to believe only for it to be twisted by the public into some personal plea in defense of a killer. The whole thing is beyond tragic, but I certainly learned something from Gronk, no matter how hard you try sometimes saying nothing is better than saying anything at all.

You can afford the right lightbulbs man. Come on.

His wife looks like a Brook Shields clone!

You never know !!

It’s unfair that Gronk has to even answer about this.

I was shocked too. All that time I thought Aaron Hernandez was a Tight End, turns out he was a Wide Receiver.

A clip with the title finally opens up about AH goes on to not show anything about it but two words 😂 not exactly opening up about it

The scariest te duo of all time who knows what they could of did

I bet if Gronk was honest, he would say Aaron was a weird aggressive dude, not that there aren't weird aggressive dudes in the locker room (Gronk might be one, who knows), but he went beyond the normal aggressive banter. Then again, he probably didn't hang out with him after football work hours either. There are a lot of things we do not know about the people we work with that might disturb us, even if you occasionally go out after work.

As much as I hate admitting this, they were an unstoppable combination. I remember some of the exotic formations the Patriots ran when they were both on the field. The rest, is very sad, and hard to believe.

Gronk thought he had to go to jail too.

Hernandez is the definition of play stupid games win stupid prizes

It’s the biggest what if in nfl history how many more sb’s would the pats have with Aaron I would say easily 10

Crazy that normal RU-vidrs need to have at least an 8 minute video for 15 second unskippable ads but the news gets them for any length video. Seems slightly unfair

Let's hear from his coach about how Aaron asked to be traded to a west coast team to get away from the gangs. Of course Belichick refused but won't admit his responsibility with this.

I had moved from Paterson NJ to Clarksville tn and I had met this guy from Camden NJ and from the first time I met him we were close I mean after about 4;years of working with him hanging out at his home with his girlfriend and new born kid he was amazing he was a hell of a mechanic and he had different trades and you would have to literally get him to talk never used any bad language ... But once in a while on break I would see him on his own just staring into space like he was shocked at times well about the 5th year were at work he didn't show up to work and for the next couple of days he didn't come to work so I went to his house concerned something happened to him ... But when I went to the door nobody answered the next day as I'm going out to break I see the us marshall coming inside the building along with officers from tn and Camden new jersey right there I knew this wasn't good there was a manhunt for him he was wanted on 6 murders steming from 1994 into 1999 he had moved to tn out into Erin tn he had changed his name and they finally caught him that day in Erin tn back in the countries side of tn and I never heard from him but I followed him after the internet came available camden at that tiime was caputal murder 4 years in a row ... That gave him 400 years for the murders

Gronk looks like stevewilldoit

You said that ah loved a tight end

how did I know this was gonna no kind of “opening up” before I wasted the time watching?

Sounds like he knows where the bodies are buried

It was Eli manning and flacco that technically made Hernandez a murderer 😮

I bet he was the best tight end. smdh

"What are the 5 symptoms of CTE? The symptoms of CTE include memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, anxiety, suicidality, parkinsonism, and, eventually, progressive dementia. These symptoms often begin years or even decades after the last brain trauma or end of active athletic involvement."

Aaron hernandez with Rob Gronkowski

"aaron sometime make me made" "aaron get more hot chicks than me at bar" "aaron force me to take tom brady home"

Wow

His girlfriend loves him so much ❤

That whole situation is just so sad

The kid had CTE and he was smoking pcp. Two those two things away from him, this would’ve never happened

today’s world could’ve been ah’s oyster

did he date aaron?

Hernandez been killing since at least college. All that talent to waste in hell.

Horrible what happened there, he had a bright future with Gronk out on the field. Those two guys together were nearly unstoppable.

He prolly bottoms aaron😂

We the people who get up early every morning 🌅 to go 🌎 working hard every day making America great always been We the people 🦅🌎🦅 amigo's

Odd I knew he killed a dude in college before he was drafted and I am just a fan.

Gronk has never had to think. Seems difficult.

His wifey is fucking gorgeous! 😍

Im surprised Hernandez killed himself when he had a shot at beating that second case, he was cleared of the first one. Idk it doesnt make sense when u have a chance at getting out and you kill yourself. He had just received news from his lawyer that he could be cleared.

He is such a dork lol

Gronk n Brady worst teammates they could have helped him

get his girlfriend off he screen

I really don't like Rob gronkowski something about him and he definitely wasn't as good as Hernandez or isn't as good but yeah something about the way he carries himself I've never really cared for him and definitely sad that Aaron chose to hang around wrong people after making his dreams come true

Out of both of them i wonder who was the top and who was the bottom.

Second comment

Can Gronk have a woman like that if he worked at Home Depot?

I heard Hernandez had lots of love for dudes

Him and Gronk had a "thing"

I think Aaron and Rob were boyfriends. You can't convince me that Gronk is straight, and before you ask me about his 10-year relationship, that's his beard.

What’s crazy is after his death they came out told the truth he wasn’t guilty !
