Unbelievable how arrogant and stupid Hernandez is and I can not image why Mike still has contact with him. Makes me ashamed to say they once attended the University of Florida.
I'll say one thing about both Mike and his brother . . . they really have done a good job of turning the corner with their lives. No question they were hanging with the wrong group of associates, from college through a good portion of their NFL careers.
Not even that they are criminals . . . they have never been in serious trouble, just around it.
But they made a pact in 2015 to change, grow up and mature and I give them much credit for doing a great job. They host the Pouncey camp up in Lakeland and Mike was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award last season for the many contributions he makes off the field.
I know many like to judge people by their past and for some a certain image of a guy won't change, but hopefully Mike and his brother continue on this new found right track that they are on.

It is interesting that Mike Pouncey is labelled POS scum for making contact in 2015 with his old college friend and teammate Aaron Hernandez, but his old Gator roommate, Tim Tebow gets commended for allegedly not turning his back and regularly praying for him. Tebow is a devout Christian, while Pouncey is smeared by maintaining friendship.
Yes, it's hard to believe but Tim Tebow and Aaron Hernandez were roommates in college.

My apologies, if I'm wrong. Sometimes one can hear a story a number of times, that you believe it to be true, even if it's wrong. Hard to believe but it made a good story (and possible movie).Tebow's roommates in college were Major Wright and then Riley Cooper.

The Gator coaches aligned Hernandez with Mike and Maurkice Pouncey, whom Hernandez roomed with off campus. The three grew close, and the staff generally considered the Pounceys a positive influence. (Since then, Mike has been named in Ted Wells' report as one of the players who contributed to the harassment of Dolphins teammate Jonathan Martin.) Meyer also had Tim Tebow rooming with Hernandez for road games, in the hopes that being around the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner would show the standout tight end the right way to do things.
