The Gangster in the Huddle

Response questions:
What were contributing factors that led to Hernandez's life of crime? What was his home life like? What were some of his criminal activities in the past that should have been a red flag to anyone looking to draft him.. cough Patriots cough... the reason he dropped so far down in the draft?
Aside from Hernandez himself, who is responsible for his actions? Coaches knew he was into some illegal activity and yet he was continually allowed to excel. Who should have stepped in? Why do athletes appear so untouchable?
