Aaron Hernandez raves about Brady, Gronk in prison letter; blasts Kraft

Aaron Hernandez still cheers on the New England Patriots from behind bars.

In a prison letter obtained by TMZ Sports, the former Patriots tight end heaps praise upon Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, writing, "I still root for my squad and still love all the ones I loved."

"The closest I was with was probably Brady and whom I love to death and always will and only hope the best for them," the letter, dated Dec. 10, reads. "But was cool with Julez, Branch (I f---ed with and got mad love for) and 'the BEST TE ever to walk on a football field' Gronk!

"... I watch every game faithfully cheering them on and always will cuz I have love for so many of them!"

Hernandez has no love for Patriots owner Robert Kraft, though, referring to him as "fake ass non loyal Kraft who told me he loved me every time he seen me but obviously shows his word ain't s--t."

Kraft was called to the stand by the prosecution at Hernandez's murder trial over the June 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. Kraft testified that Hernandez told him he was innocent and claimed he was at a nightclub at the time of the murder.

Hernandez was subsequently sentenced to life without parole and is still awaiting trial for the 2012 drive-by shooting deaths of two Boston men.
