Aaron Hernandez had John 3:16 written on his forehead

Correction officers attempted lifesaving techniques on Hernandez, the department said in the statement. He was subsequently transported to the UMass Memorial–HealthAlliance Hospital in Leominster, where he was pronounced dead at 4:07 a.m. ET by a physician.

Hernandez's next of kin have been notified.

Isn't that what Tebow often went with? Nt NCTraveler Apr 2017 #1

So, was the whole verse written on his forehead? Because that would take some insane skill.

I know Urban Meyer asked Tebow to talk to him when he was at Florida and Tebow broke up a bar fight Hernandez was in.

Sounds like someone who had a conscience and his past deeds affected him. As others have mentioned, did concussions play a role in this?

In the WWE, Chris Benoit killed his whole family before hanging himself. Authorities found Bibles placed next to them. No one knows if concussions due to his career had an impact. But if I were to place a bet.....

He probably snapped when he finally realized "what might have been".
