A former teammate of Aaron Hernandez has claimed that he was warned about the former tight end by another colleague when they played together for the New England Patriots.
Hernandez died in prison in 2017. He was convicted of murder after playing for the Patriots from 2010-2012.
Brandon Lloyd, who played as a wide receiver for the team, discussed Hernandez in Apple’s new ‘Dynasty’ series detailing the Pats’ glory years with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and claimed to have been given a warning about Hernandez’ strange behavior by another former WR, Wes Welker.
“He stops me and, kind of touches me on my shoulders and he’s looking at me wide-eyed in my face and he says, ‘Your locker is in between [Rob] Gronkowski and Hernandez. I just want to warn you that he’s going to talk about being bathed by his mother. He’s going to have his genitalia out in front of you while you’re sitting out on your stool,” Lloyd recalls on the show.
“He’s going to have his towel and try to dry off in front of you while you’re sitting at your locker. He’s going to talk about gay sex. Just do your best to ignore it. Even walk away.’ So, even before I met Aaron on a personal level, that was how I was warned about him prior to getting to my locker,” Lloyd said in 2018 on the Boston Globe podcast “Gladiator.”
Lloyd, a Pro Bowler and the NFL’s receiving yards leader in 2010, played for the Patriots in 2012.
