Tim Tebow’s pass is floating toward the goal line when Aaron Hernandez enters the picture to make a leaping catch and continue on into the end zone.

Or that’s what the scripted anthology series “American Sports Story” on Hernandez’s troubled double life wants you to believe.

But that’s not really the late Hernandez — who was convicted of first-degree murder in 2015 and committed suicide in prison in 2017 — nor the actor who portrays him on television (Josh Rivera) making the catches in those recreated high school, college and NFL football scenes. Nor is it Hernandez or Rivera knocking down a jump shot in a fictionalized high school basketball game.

It’s former Rutgers star and one-time Jets defensive back Anthony Cioffi, who was selected from a casting call of several hundred actors to be Rivera’s stunt double and put his football experience to use as a believable Hernandez stand-in.
