If you think you know everything about Aaron Hernandez, think again. On Wednesday, Netflix released their new Aaron Hernandez documentary, "Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez", a three-part deep dive into the life and career of the convicted murderer and former NFL player. In the first episode, high school quarterback Dennis SanSoucie alleges that he and Hernandez were in “an on and off-relationship from seventh grade to junior year of high school,” and during that time, they “experimented” with one another. “You mean to tell me that the quarterback and the tight end, he’s gay? He sleeps with other men?” says SanSoucie. “We had to hide what we were.”

In Killer Inside, SanSoucie describes his years-long friendship with Hernandez, which first began on the football field. The duo attended Bristol Central High School in Connecticut, where they dominated with SanSoucie at quarterback and Hernandez as tight end; off the field, they smoked weed together and played around. “We used to horseplay, that was our thing. We used to love horseplaying and having fun with each other because we were just kids full of life,” says SanSoucie.

SanSoucie claims that his friendship with Hernandez soon turned romantic. “Aaron and I had an on and off-relationship from the seventh grade to junior year of high school,” he alleges. “Aaron participated with many people. I was a small piece of Aaron’s sexual activity.”

“If I look at it now in the year that we’re in, yes we were in a relationship back then. But at the time you don’t look at it like that,” he says, adding that there weren’t many “kids out of the closet” at their high school. “Here I am the football player — I was in such denial, such denial because I was an athlete. You mean to tell me that the quarterback and the tight end, he’s gay? He sleeps with other men? No, it doesn’t sit right with people. It doesn’t sit right within our own stomach at that time.”

1. I'm confused. Is this article or this documentary suggesting that suppressing his sexual orientation

(if true) lead to him being a murderer?

- - He had severe brain damage due to CTE -

As former Patriot Ryan O’Callaghan, who came out as gay in June 2017, puts it, “If he was able to to be himself and have some of these negative things not in his life, what kind of difference would that have made?”

BTW ~ his being gay was well covered in the news at the time.
No surprise there.
