Brandon Spikes might be letting his relationship with a former teammate cloud his judgment.
The former New England Patriots linebacker (currently a free agent) couldn’t help himself upon learning the fate of ex-tight end Aaron Hernandez. On Wednesday, Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd.
Spikes — who also played with Hernandez at the University of Florida — wasted no time giving his opinion. The linebacker sure seemed to disagree with the verdict, tweeting this in the moments following the announcement.

Take what you want from that. After all, this is the same guy who wore this shirt during his time with the Patriots.
