by from on (#3F3E6)
The NFL included deceased former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez in an "In Memoriam" video that was shown on video boards at U.S. Bank Stadium in the hours leading up to Super Bowl LII Sunday, according to Eric Skelton of Complex.
Hernandez committed suicide in his jail cell in April. He was serving a life-without-parole sentence for murder.
The slide containing Hernadez also apparently displayed several other lesser known players:
Other recent or well-known players were honored with photos or highlights on individual slides. I have no strong opinions on how Hernandez was *honored*, simply reporting.
