Revisiting late Patriots star's troublesSome people have said that comparing Ja Morant to Aaron Hernandez is not fair. Because while the basketball star waved a gun, the NFL star actually shot it.However, the path that the Memphis Grizzlies star is taking is worrying. Aaron Hernandez was considered one of the top tight end prospects in the country and was selected in the same draft as Rob Gronkowski. It might be one of the biggest understatements to say that their careers turned out differently.The Patriots star was convicted of murdering his friend Odin Lloyd. He was indicted but acquitted of the murders of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. For the first incident, he was found guilty of first degree murder, as well as five gun-related charges.While Ja Morant has not done anything as close to what Hernandez did, it is the "gun-related" charges that show the concern many feel for him. The star would ultimately commit suicide while incarcerated.After his death, stories and reports emerged regarding what could have made a budding footballer commit the crimes that he did. He was reportedly suffering from CTE, which could have contributed to the worsening of his personality. Apparently, before his death, he had also gotten into drugs, which further exacerbated the downward spiral he was on.It is often difficult to escape the strain of violence once you catch it. Aaron Hernandez certainly could not. Ja Morant must before it becomes too late for him as well.
