There probably isn't anyone happier in the Patriots locker room this week than Aaron Hernandez. On Tuesday, the day he turned 23, he welcomed his first child, a daughter named Avielle.

"That’s crazy," Hernandez said. "Best birthday gift you could have, having a daughter on your birthday and especially daddy’s little girl. It’s an honor and I couldn’t ask for my life to be better at this point. My life is pretty good and thank God for that and it’s a blessing and I still feel blessed daily."
