Former New England Patriots star Julian Edelman has been criticized for an 'awful' joke he told about Aaron Hernandez during the roast of Tom Brady on Sunday night.
Brady's former coach Bill Belichick, his former teammates, comedians and some celebrities took it in turns to ridicule the seven-time Super Bowl winner on a Netflix special hosted by Kevin Hart.
But some also made jokes about each other or turned their attention to other people from Brady's life or career. One of those was Aaron Hernandez, the former Patriots tight end.
Hernandez killed himself in prison in 2017 while serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd.
But that didn't stop Hernandez from being the subject of some very crude jokes on Sunday night and Edelman's was the most controversial.
