My Take
I cannot write about Aaron Hernandez the way I write about other athletes. The talent was real — a John Mackey Award winner and a genuine NFL star at an age when most players are still finding their footing — but it is inseparable from the murder he was convicted of and the life that was taken. What stays with me is the posthumous discovery of severe brain trauma in a 27-year-old, which forces uncomfortable questions about what football extracts from the people who play it. I read his story less as a biography than as a warning the sport has yet to fully answer. Tragedy is the only honest word.
