Amid the scandal of the investigation (and later conviction) of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez for murder, coach [[Bill Belichick]] boosted the public image of the Patriots by having [[Tim Tebow]] in a tryout in 2013, which was a sham.  Ironically, Tebow's college coach had warned Belichick about Hernandez before Belichick drafted him.<ref>https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/urban-meyer-bill-belichick-aaron-hernandez-tebow-buckeyes-braxton-miller/kn4mrv1yn8u01jzemhb5ubwlt</ref>
