New England Patriots<\/a> legend Rob Gronkowski<\/a> has revealed that his fellow tight end, the late Aaron Hernandez, used to masturbate during team meetings.<\/p>\n

Hernandez\u00a0was convicted in 2015 of killing semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd. Two years later, the 27-year-old killed himself in his prison cell days after being acquitted of most charges in a separate double-murder case.<\/p>\n

On the field, Hernandez’s talent could not be questioned and few knew him better than Gronkowski. Now, in an interview on Bussin’ With The Boys<\/a>, Gronkowski said he was blown away by Hernandez’s ability when they were teammates but he quickly became known for his wild side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We heard stories of him being in the team meeting room, like beating off. Doing crazy s***,’ the podcast cohost Taylor Lewan said to Gronkowski.<\/p>\n

‘I mean, possibly,’ Gronkowski said, theatrically, as if to confirm that it is true.<\/p>\n

‘That’s a possibility, that one. I may or may have not seen it live. I’m not going to confirm nor deny.<\/p>\n

Rob Gronkowski joked about Aaron Hernandez masturbating in Patriots team meetings\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Gronkowski <\/p>\n

Gronkowski said that troubled star Hernandez was often doing ‘crazy s***’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘But I love crazy s*** though. I didn’t mind things like that. I was like “wow, that was pretty epic”. I was a wild man myself. Nothing fazed me, I encouraged it.’<\/p>\n

In three seasons with the Patriots, Hernandez joined Gronkowski to form one of the most potent tight end duos in NFL history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2011, his second season, Hernandez caught 79 passes for 910 yards and seven touchdowns to help the team reach the Super Bowl, and he was rewarded with a $40 million contract.<\/p>\n

‘It was wild, man,’ Gronkowski added. ‘I was the guy that was truly there, throughout his whole career. In the same room, the whole entire time, as him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The talent was through the roof and if we could have kept that tandum going we would have been truly unstoppable.’<\/p>\n

The Patriots released Hernandez in 2013, shortly after he was arrested in the killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez\u2019s fianc\u00e9e.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hernandez was convicted and sentenced to life in prison; the conviction was voided because he died before his appeals were exhausted, though that ruling was appealed.<\/p>\n

His lawyer said in 2017 that Hernandez had Stage 3 CTE, the degenerative brain disease that can causes violent mood swings, depression and other cognitive diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"He <\/p>\n

He killed himself in his cell after being acquitted of most charges in a double-murder case<\/p>\n

Hernandez did not raise CTE in his defense at either trial because he claimed actual innocence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hernandez had shown signs of memory loss, impulsivity and aggression that could be attributed to CTE, his lawyer said in 2017.<\/p>\n

A star for the University of Florida when it won the 2008 title, Hernandez dropped to the fourth round of the NFL draft because of trouble in college that included a failed drug test and a bar fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
