“He said ‘Michael, it was a bit of a power struggle there, because Bill O’Brien, coach O’Brien thought [Hopkins] had too much influence over the locker room.’ He called DeAndre Hopkins in a meeting to talk about this and to kind of, I guess, hash it out. In that meeting, he started the meeting with telling DeAndre Hopkins this – that blew my mind when DeAndre told me this.
He told DeAndre Hopkins, he said ‘hey, the last time I had to have a meeting like this it was with Aaron Hernandez.’ I was like ‘what, he put in Aaron Hernandez in this meeting?’ He said ‘yes he did.’ He said ‘Michael, that blew my mind that he would even bring that up. I’ve never been in any trouble, I don’t know why he would equate me with Aaron Hernandez.’
And from there, the meeting just deteriorated. He got into talking about DeAndre Hopkins – DeAndre Hopkins has a few kids from different women – he told DeAndre he doesn’t like that he has his ‘baby mamas’ around sometimes, and from that I think the relationship just went bad.”
