Hernandez, who was drafted into the NFL at the age of 20, had just inked a five-year, $40 million contract with the New England Patriots when he was arrested in 2013 for the murder of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd.
Hernandez was convicted in 2015 of killing Lloyd.
Two years later, the 27-year-old killed himself in his prison cell just days after being acquitted of most charges in a separate double-murder case.
A judge threw out Hernandez’s conviction that year, citing the legal principle that holds that a defendant convicted at trial who dies before an appeal is heard should no longer be considered guilty in the eyes of the law.
The prosecution then appealed and Massachusetts’ highest court reinstated his murder conviction earlier this year.
