New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has never played all 16 games in a season, but he's aiming his workouts towards that this offseason.

"Just been training, trying to get my body right, get my strength up so I can have a decent season next year," Hernandez said.

"I'd say more attention to specific muscles instead of just doing the basic bench, squat and all that other stuff. I'd say I started a little earlier this year to maybe try to get through 16 games this season. It's away from everything else — away from my family, my friends, gives me time to focus on football, focus on my main priorities in life."
