Sheriff: Aaron Hernandez 'probably' will be allowed to watch Patriots

Aaron Hernandez didn't get to watch Tom Brady go up against Peyton Manning the last time the Patriots and Broncos played, but this time around, Hernandez will likely be allowed to watch.

Suffolk Sheriff Steven Tompkins told the Boston Herald that Hernandez has been a 'model citizen' in jail and that he's likely earned the right to watch his former team play.

"He's doing fine," Tompkins said. "No problems, no complaints, so I think everything's working out right. He can probably watch the Patriots games."

When the Patriots and Broncos played in January's AFC Championship game, Hernandez was being held in a different jail and wasn't allowed to watch. Hernandez then changed jails in July so that he could be closer to his legal team in Boston.

The former Patriots tight end turned triple murder suspect is currently in jail as he awaits trial in the death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd. Hernandez is also facing two murder charges stemming from a drive-by shooting that took place outside of a Boston nightclub in 2012.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
