Aaron Hernandez still dreamed of an NFL return, according to a source who claimed to be a close friend.

In a release by the Department of Corrections, Hernandez spoke of “the NFL and going back to play even if it wasn’t with the Pats” after he was acquitted of two murder charges, according to a “close friend” of Hernandez.
