    Much has been made recently of Aaron Hernandez's past at Florida. As the former Patriots tight end sits in jail, facing a murder charge, every speck of trouble from his past bubbles up to be scrutinized by the seething public.

    It's worth noting, then, in the interest of being fair, that Hernandez was apparently never a problem for New England once they drafted him. Ben Volin of the Boston Globe wrote as much in his Sunday notes column, including making the point that Hernandez never failed a drug test while playing for the Pats.

    "For three years in New England, Hernandez did everything Bill Belichick asked of him football-wise, according to a team source," Volin writes. "He showed up to meetings and practices on time, practiced hard, stayed in shape, was very coachable, and starred on the field, scoring 18 touchdowns in three seasons.

    "Just as importantly, he didn't fail one NFL drug test in three seasons."

    Doesn't the Wunderlich test have a social or a personality area? I heard that he scored very low in that. That should have raised a red flag right there.
