Before charges of first-degree murder was brought against ex-New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez,  Tim Tebow and Tom Brady worried about his behavior as early as 2011, with Hernandez being described as "a lot to handle," a newly surfaced video demonstrated.

The two quarterback exchanged words after the Patriots defeated Tebow's Denver Broncos by a score of 41-23 in their Week 15 matchup. Afterward, the two quarterbacks chatted about the game at center field and even talked about two of Tebow's teammates at the University of Florida in Hernandez and linebacker Brandon Spikes.

Check out the video exchange on NFL.com, but here's a transcript of the exchange below.

Brady: "Good game, Tim. You're having a great year."

Tebow: "Thanks. I appreciate it."

 Brady: "Keep it up. Good things happen to good people.

Tebow: "I appreciate that."

Brady: "And I'm trying to watch over Aaron and Brandon." 

Tebow: "I appreciate that, too, man. They're good guys."

Brady: "[Yeah] they're a lot to handle."

Hernandez awaits his trial for his connection in the shooting death of his friend Odin Llyod, staff at the Bristol County House of Correction have said that he's followed all the rules and has been causing little to no problems.

While incarcerated, Hernandez has been separated from the general population of inmates because Hodgson says that there are concerns that the other inmates could attack him to raise their own reputation.

Hernandez doesn't have access to television but does have books available and is allowed to write letters. He is allowed to have visitors for one hour each week. The jail has declined to comment on whether any of Hernandez's former teammates on the Patriots have paid him a visit.
