re: Rumor: Kevin Faulk to be Rb coach

Faulk sat down with CNN’s Susan Candiotti as part of the network’s special program “Downward Spiral: Inside the Case against Aaron Hernandez.” In the interview, Faulk expressed support for Hernandez, Faulk’s former teammate who is currently in prison facing three separate murder charges.

“I want to tell him that he has somebody that’s on his side that’s praying for him,” Faulk said of Hernandez.

Candiotti then pressed Faulk: “Prosecutors are saying that he orchestrated the execution of someone.”

Faulk replied: “You’re not going to make me believe that he’s a monster because you used those type of words.”

Hernandez and Faulk were teammates for just two years, though Faulk was limited by injury to just two weeks of game action in 2010, Hernandez’s rookie year. Faulk spent his entire 13-year career with the Patriots.

“You get questioned all the time, ‘Do you think your boy did it?'” Faulk said. “No, I don’t want him to have done it, no. So if you want me to say no, [then] no, I don’t think he did it. At the same time, anybody can be pushed to do something drastic like that, if they push you to that point.”
