Aaron Hernandez Had CTE; Lawsuit Against NFL, Patriots Planned

BOSTON, MA - SEPTEMBER 21: A press conference is held at the law office of Attorney Jose Baez, left, to announce that a lawsuit will be filed against the National Football League and the New England Patriots on behalf of the daughter of the late Aaron Hernandez, claiming that the former tight end suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), in Boston on Sep. 21, 2017. Shayanna Jenkins, the fiancee of the late Hernandez is pictured at right. Hernandez was convicted in 2015 of the June 2013 murder of Odin L. Lloyd, but was acquitted in April on charges of killing Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in Boston in July 2012. He hanged himself five days after the acquittal inside his Shirley prison cell, where he was serving a life sentence for the Lloyd murder. (Photo by Jim Davis/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
