Bernard Pollard is the angel of death for the Patriots...
From the Boston Herald
Quote:
Would it surprise you to learn that safety Bernard Pollard — who looms large in nearly every disaster to befall the Patriots over the past five years — is also a footnote in the Aaron Hernandez saga?
Pollard, of course, is the guy who tore up Tom Brady’s knee in 2008 and was about to dive into Wes Welker when Wes blew out his ACL in 2010. Pollard also tackled Rob Gronkowski in the 2011 AFC Championship game, spraining 87’s ankle and crippling him for the Super Bowl. And in last season’s AFC title tilt he concussed running back Stevan Ridley with a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit.
Well then, it should come as no surprise that, according to the Twitterverse, Pollard was the last guy to tackle Hernandez in that very same AFC Championship game. According to the box score, Pollard hit Hernandez on a third-and-10 late in the fourth quarter of the Patriots last game of the 2012-2013 season — and probably the last play of 81’s career.
