Former Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez found guilty of first-degree murder

Former Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez has been found guilty of first-degree murder. The victim was 27-year-old semipro football player Odin Lloyd. Hernandez was sentenced to life in prison without parole. He had just received a contract worth about $40 million when he was arrested in 2013. Now he is a convicted murderer spending the rest of his life in prison and has been linked to another murder case in Boston, which is scheduled to start in May. Hernandez is just 25 years old.

Fantasy Analysis:

This has little direct impact on the fantasy season. However, watching Hernandez being convicted of murder could affect how teams draft and view players with character issues.
