“It’s just heartbreaking and sad, and all my thoughts and prayers go out to all the families that were involved,” Tebow said. “I understand why you have to ask all the questions; that’s part of doing your job. Part of mine is listening to instruction, and we’ve been told not to talk about it.”
Hernandez and Tebow’s former coach at Florida, Urban Meyer, scrutinized the player in the wake of his murder charge.
“I feel like Coach Meyer is a great man, one of the best I’ve had the privilege of being around,” Tebow said. “He is someone that not only tries to win football games; he’s someone who tries to invest in young men’s lives and help young men grow. He cares very deeply about that. That’s one of the reasons I’m so close to him and so proud of him.”
Hernandez is currently in a Massachusetts jail after pleading not guilty to first degree murder.
