Bennett, 30, has been one of the better tight ends in football over the past handful of seasons. In 2014, he had a career-best 90 catches and 916 yards with the Chicago Bears. He caught a career-high seven touchdowns last season with the Patriots.
This season Bennett has 24 catches for 233 yards. Like his brother, Martellus has a social conscience. He also has many interests outside the sport of football.
