I am really struggling to figure out why the media is trying to make the Arron Hernandez murder investigation a Patriots issue, or an issue with the "Patriot Way". There is no doubt that if the Patriots did not draft him in the 4th round, some other team would have picked him up. Judging by his on field performance over his four seasons, he would have remained in the league, even if he was drafted by a terrible organization. This is an NFL problem. This could have happened to any team out there. There is no reason for the media to spin this all around and act like the Patriots facilitated the type of environment where this was ultimately due to a lack of structural/ cultural integrity within the Kraft/ Belichick organization.
