Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton is catching major backlash online.
On a recent podcast, Cam spoke glowingly about the former New England Patriots tight end and their friendship while they played at Florida together.
Newton stated Hernandez had a genuine heart.
“On my soul, on my first born. Only one from UF checked on me, Aaron. Shows our bond. Fun-loving, loved hard, trauma from father’s loss.”

As we all know, Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder in 2015 for the killing of Odin Lloyd. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Hernandez died by suicide in 2017 when he was found hanging in his prison cell at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Massachusetts.
For that reason, Cam Newton is being blasted by fans online.
“Seems like everyday Cams trying to find a new way to remain relevant. Your times up, let it go,” one fan said.
