Tim Tebow Responds To Question About Former Teammate Aaron Hernandez

“He was a teammate that was extremely competitive, that I think had a different side to him [than] a lot of how the media just portrays it,” Tebow said.

Bensinger followed up by asking in what way, to which Tebow asserted that some tried to “sensationalize something.” He would not go into any specifics though.

“I think just trying to sensationalize something … doesn’t make it accurate or good,” Tebow said. “And I think there’s been too much of that that has been sensationalized rather than just kind of tell the root of the story.

“I think telling some of the other side of what he came through and what he worked through, is working on. And it’s just in every area, hard.

“I think it’s just sad for a whole lot of people, you know? It’s why it’s hard for me to even answer your questions, because I don’t want to be a part of just talking about it … It’s not really my place, and I don’t want to, because there’s still family … and so many people are affected in other ways. It’s hard to know what to say, when to say, why to say it, because it affects so many people. And it’s hard. It’s hard for a lot of people, for victims, for his family, for so many people. I just try to be tender to all of that.”
