The Super Bowl champion took to social media Thursday, crying during an Instagram livestream and alleging that Raiders head coach Josh McDaniel — who was the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots — was involved in the death of Aaron Hernandez, one of Jones’ teammates in New England.
Hernandez committed suicide in prison in 2017.
The accusation from Jones came after he tweeted that he was forced into a mental hospital, then injected with a medication that he didn’t want to take.
