Matt Light blasts Aaron Hernandez


Matt Light is one the most easy going guys the Patriots have ever had in recent years. It's actually hard to imagine him harboring hate for anyone, except Osi Umenyiora of course.

However, while the current Patriots are being tight lipped about the Hernandez situation, this former one isn't.

Former Patriots left tackle Matt Light has now weighed in, telling Tom Archdeacon of the Dayton Daily News that Hernandez always had his own agenda apart from the Patriots. "I never talk about other guys," Light said, "but I will say I have never embraced -- never believed in -- anything Aaron Hernandez stood for."

Light apparently wasn't alone in his uneasiness with Hernandez. Appearing on NFL Network Wednesday, the Boston Globe's Ben Volin pointed out that Hernandez never fit the Patriots' locker room culture. Volin relayed one incident from Hernandez's rookie year when the tight end "went way out of line" and "lashed out at" Wes Welker in an expletive-filled overreaction to locker-room chiding.

As NFL.com points out, this falls in line with reports from the Boston Globe that Hernandez didn't exactly fit in in the Patriots locker room. And also with a Sports Illustrated report that had anonymous current and former teammates saying that Hernandez had "minor maturity issues", though that wasn't seen as anything major.
