NFL Players React to Aaron Hernandez's Suicide

NFL players react to Aaron Hernandez's suicide.

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was found dead in his prison cell on Wednesday morning, where he was serving a life sentence for 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, just days after being acquitted in a separate double-murder case in Boston.

Hernandez, who was sentenced to life without parole, was found in his cell hung by a bedsheet shortly after 3 a.m. and pronounced dead an hour later at a hospital. 

After the news broke on Hernandez's death, current and former NFL players shared their reactions on Twitter.

While many are ecstatic about Aaron taking his life, let's not forget about this sweet little 4 year old baby who has to grow up with this. https://t.co/9HqwceLhwR
