Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey said former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was in "great spirits" during conversations between the two only days before Hernandez committed suicide on Apr. 19.

Per Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, Pouncey talked about Hernandez following the Dolphins' first training camp practice Thursday.

“It was tough," Pouncey said. "Obviously, I don't condone any of the things that he was accused of, but just to have a friend I was so close with, that I felt like was my brother and I know that he felt the same way, it's tough.
