The Patriots have devised ways of using Aaron Hernandez that are proving equally successful, but for slightly different reasons. Hernandez is not the fastest player on the field, nor is he the strongest, or a physical monster like Rob Gronkowski, but he is an unusual blend of those traits such that it makes him uniquely between positions. The Patriots can at any time play him in one of three spots on offense: wide out, tight end, or running back. The league’s complete dependency on personnel packages and substitutions makes that very important.

Aaron Hernandez Highlights (by WatchSomeFootball)

Another great X and O breakdown, this time of Gronk and Hernandez, and how the Patriots use them.

So so dangerous in the open field. And has not had any ball security issues. Keep it up Hernandoooo!
