Mike Pouncey and his brother Maurkice are both good friends with Aaron Hernandez. Shortly after he got arrested last July for allegedly killing semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, they actually made an appearance at a nightclub wearing "FREE HERNANDEZ" hats. So we're not surprised to see that Mike is still supporting his friend, despite his recent legal troubles. But isn't it a little bit weird that he has Hernandez's framed Patriots jersey hanging up in his living room?

The photo above was taken by Miko Grimes, the wife of Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes, at Mike Pouncey's house earlier today and then posted to Instagram. And as you can clearly see, Hernandez's jersey is proudly displayed in the Pouncey household. Why? Uhhh…your guess is as good as ours. But if Pouncey hasn't gotten around to taking it down by now, something tells us that thing isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
