Aaron Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree murder this morning and sentenced to life without parole. Hernandez is also currently fighting three more cases, one of which is criminal and involves a double-homicide charge in Boston, but with life already under his belt, the results of those cases could more-or-less be irrelevant. Still, the former tight end and his legal team are preparing to file an appeal, looking for a glimmer of hope within this sad situation.

While the former New England Patriot hasn't played in an NFL game since January of 2013, several of the league's players have been watching the trial closely, and shared their thoughts on the verdict with their legions of fans and followers. See what Aaron's fellow NFL ballers had to say about their fallen peer above.
