Rolling Stone's contributing editor Paul Solotaroff dug deep into Hernandez and his life, interviewing friends and family members as well as old teammates and people in the NFL and while the story won't hit newsstands until Friday, here it what the magazine revealed as a tease:

From Rolling Stone:

  • Hernandez was a heavy user of angel dust, and had become so paranoid over the last year that he carried a gun wherever he went.
  • He surrounded himself with a cohort of gangsters, and cut himself off from his family and teammates.
  • Hernandez had so infuriated his head coach, Bill Belichick, with missed practices and thug-life stunts, that he was one misstep from being cut.
  • Both his parents, Dennis and Terri, had criminal records, as did much of his extended family.
  • Terri allegedly cheated on Dennis before his death with a violent drug dealer named Jeffrey Cummings, then married Cummings after Dennis died and moved him into the house she shared with Aaron.
  • In college his coach (then-University of Florida head coach Urban Meyer) may have helped cover up failed drug tests, along with two violent incidents - an assault and a drive-by shootout outside a local bar.
