On Saturday night before the game, Marty shared drawings of his teammates, from \u00a0\u00a0Tom Brady<\/a> to Malcolm Mitchell<\/a>, and they are epic. Last year, Marty took to draw his own “football Marty” cartoon, and while he was at it, he drew a Gronk cartoon to complete the dynamic duo. The Gronk cartoon reemerged again last night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gronk wasn’t the only one to get the Marty treatment. In a series of posts, he crafted thoughtful, hilarious and incredible drawings, and you could tell, Marty was having a great time doing it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tom Brady<\/a> fully transformed into the GOAT, and Chris Hogan<\/a> channeled another Hogan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

MARTELLUS BENNETT DRAWS CARTOONS OF HIS TEAMMATES<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"

New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett celebrates with the cheerleaders after the win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC championship at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, January 22, 2017.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Martellus Demond Bennett (born March 10, 1987) is an American football<\/a> tight end<\/a> for the New England Patriots<\/a> of the National Football League<\/a> (NFL). The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> drafted him in the second round of the2008 NFL Draft<\/a> after playing college football<\/a> at Texas A&M<\/a>. Bennett has also played in the NFL for the New York Giants<\/a>, Chicago Bears<\/a>, and Green Bay Packers<\/a>. He is the younger brother of Seattle Seahawks<\/a>defensive end<\/a> Michael Bennett<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Bennett played football<\/a> and basketball<\/a> at Alief Taylor High School<\/a> in Houston, Texas. He was a three-year starter and two-time All-District and All-Greater Houston<\/a> selection at tight end<\/a>. As a sophomore<\/a>, he averaged 12.4 yards per catch. During his junior<\/a> year, he grabbed 13 catches for 170 yards and two touchdowns. In his senior year, he caught a team-high of 42 catches for 487 yards and six touchdowns, earning first-team Class 5A<\/a> all-state honors from the Texas Sports Writers Association. He also averaged 23 points and 8.2 rebounds per game as a senior in basketball.<\/sup> He played in the 2005 U.S. Army All-American Bowl<\/a>.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a college football<\/a> prospect in his senior<\/a> year of high school, Bennett was a five-star recruit, ranked by\u00a0Rivals.com<\/a> as the No. 1 tight end and No. 8 best player in the 2005 prospect class. He was recruited by Texas A&M<\/a>, Duke<\/a>, Kansas<\/a>, LSU<\/a>, Miami<\/a>, Oklahoma<\/a>, and Texas<\/a>. Although originally committed to play for Miami,<\/sup> he chose to sign a National Letter of Intent<\/a> to play for Texas A&M.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bennett also had interest in playing professional basketball. So, after his senior season Bennett decided to declare for the 2005 NBA Draft<\/a>. He did not hire an agent<\/a> though, intending to go to college if he was not selected in the first round. NBA scouts informed him that it was unlikely he would, causing him to withdraw from the draft a few days prior. As a result, he decided to enroll in classes in the second summer session at Texas A&M.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"In his freshman season at Texas A&M University<\/a>, he caught 18 passes for 162 yards and three touchdowns.<\/sup> In his sophomore season, he was named one of eight semifinalists for the John Mackey Award<\/a>, given annually to the nation’s top tight end, after making 38 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns.<\/sup> On October 28, 2006, he caught a career-high of 133 yards and two touchdowns on five catches against Baylor<\/a>.<\/sup> He was named the Mackey Award Player of the Week after the game. He finished his sophomore season with All-Big 12<\/a> Second Team honors.<\/sup> In his junior season, he made 49 receptions for 587 yards and four touchdowns.\u00a0<\/sup> After his junior season, an NFL committee indicated to Bennett that he would be a first or second-round pick in theNFL Draft<\/a>, so Bennett decided to skip his senior season and declare early for the draft.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

In his three seasons at Texas A&M University, Bennett caught 105 passes for 1,246 yards and 10 touchdowns.<\/sup> His 105 receptions equal the school record of most receptions by a tight end.<\/sup> He only averaged 34.6 yards per game, though many felt that his head coach, Dennis Franchione<\/a>, who ran a run-oriented offense,<\/sup> did not properly use his talent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>After his sophomore season, Bennett recorded a rap<\/a> song called “Throw Me The Ball, Coach,” and made a remix<\/a> with his teammates.<\/sup> He played with his brother, Michael Bennett, at Texas A&M from 2006-2008.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bennett also played basketball for Texas A&M for two seasons under head coach Billy Gillispie<\/a>,<\/sup> but decided to focus on football in January 2007.\u00a0<\/sup> In the 2005\u201306 season, his first, he became the first Texas A&M athlete since 1969 to letter<\/a> in both basketball and football.<\/sup> He played in 26 games his freshman season,<\/sup> averaging 1.9 points and 1.5 rebounds. In his sophomore season, before choosing football, he averaged 0.5 points and 0.5 rebounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his sophomore season, before choosing football, he averaged 0.5 points and 0.5 rebounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/sup>After trading former second-round draft choice Anthony Fasano<\/a>, the Cowboys selected Bennett in the second round (61st overall)<\/a> of the 2008 NFL Draft<\/a>.\u00a0<\/sup>According to Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones<\/a>, Bennett was selected not because they needed a backup tight end, but to “add a new dimension” by being part of a two-tight-end offense.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0In the 2008<\/a> preseason, Bennett learned technique from tight end Jason Witten<\/a>.\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

He agreed to a four-year contract with the team on July 24.\u00a0<\/span>He was given the number-two tight end position over Tony Curtis<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0In Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, he recorded his first career touchdown on a 34-yard pass from Brad Johnson<\/a>.\u00a0He finished his rookie season with 20 receptions for 283 yards and four touchdowns<\/a>.\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Before the start of his second season, the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> offered a future first-round draft choice in exchange for Bennett, but the Cowboys declined.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/sup>In a January 2010 news conference following the season, Jerry Jones indicated that while Bennett had breakout potential, he needed to put in the focus to meet it. Still, it was a concern that he was being pushed in preseason for the backup job by John Phillips<\/a>, until Phillips was lost for the season with an ACL tear. In 2010<\/a>, Bennett recorded a then career-high 33 catches.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the start of the\u00a02012 season<\/a>, the Cowboys offered a similar free agent<\/a> deal as the one he received from the New York Giants<\/a>, but he decided to leave Dallas, to have the opportunity to start.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 12, Bennett signed a four-year deal with the Chicago Bears.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0In Week 2, against the Minnesota Vikings, Bennett recorded his first career multi-touchdown game in the 31\u201330 victory.\u00a0<\/span>He concluded the 2013 season with a career-high 65 receptions and 759 yards.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0The 65 receptions were tied for eighth in the league among tight ends, and the second-highest in team history, behind Mike Ditka<\/a>‘s 75 in 1964<\/a>. The 759 yards were tied for ninth in yards, while Bennett also tied for 12th in touchdowns among tight ends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/sup>In Week 4, against the Green Bay Packers, he recorded a career-high 134 yards in the 38\u201317 loss. In Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys, Bennett recorded his 77th catch of the year, surpassing Mike Ditka for the most receptions by a tight end in Bears history. In the same game, he recorded a career-high 12 receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He finished the season with 90 receptions for 916 yards and six touchdowns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>On January 19, 2015, Bennett was named to the 2015 Pro Bowl<\/a>, replacing New England Patriots<\/a> tight end Rob Gronkowski<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 16, 2016, Bennett was traded along with a sixth-round draft pick (#204-Jordan Lucas<\/a>) in the 2016 NFL Draft<\/a> to the New England Patriots<\/a> in exchange for a fourth-round pick (#127-Deiondre’ Hall<\/a>) in the 2016 NFL Draft<\/a> .[74]<\/a><\/sup> It was reported in the media that the Patriots were trying to recreate the success they experienced with the two-tight end offense that employed the Rob Gronkowski<\/a>\u2013Aaron Hernandez<\/a> tandem in 2011 and 2012.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his first five weeks, Bennett was the most efficient Patriots receiver on the field with 21 receptions for 314 yards and four touchdowns, including a three-touchdown effort in Tom Brady<\/a>‘s return in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns<\/a>.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

After Gronkowski was placed on the injured reserve list<\/a> in early December, Bennett became the Patriots No. 1 tight end. He finished the regular season playing in all 16 games with 12 starts recording 55 receptions for 701 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns. His 397 yards after the catch ranked No. 2 among NFL tight ends in 2016.<\/sup> During the season, he was forced to play hurt, while battling ankle and shoulder injuries, which required him to undergo offseason ankle surgery to repair a cracked bone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On February 5, 2017, Bennett was part of the Patriots team that won Super Bowl LI<\/a>. In the game, he recorded five catches for 62 yards as the Patriots defeated the\u00a0Atlanta Falcons<\/a> by a score of 34\u201328 in overtime.<\/sup> \u00a0The Patriots had trailed 28\u20133 in the third quarter, but rallied to win the game. The game marked the first overtime and the largest comeback in Super Bowl history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"On March 10, 2017, Bennett signed with the Green Bay Packers<\/a> on a three-year, $21 million contract after the team was unable to reach an agreement with Jared Cook<\/a>, who left for the Oakland Raiders<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0On September 10, in his Packers debut, Bennett had three receptions for 43 yards in a 17\u20139 victory over the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/sup>On November 9, 2017, Bennett was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots<\/a>.\u00a0On November 10, just only a day after being claimed, it was revealed that he was diagnosed with tears in both the rotator cuff and labrum in his shoulder, requiring Bennett to undergo a physical before he could legitimately join the team.\u00a0 On November 27, 2017, the Patriots placed Bennett on injured reserve due to shoulder and hamstring injuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bennett is the younger brother of Seattle Seahawks<\/a> defensive end<\/a> Michael Bennett<\/a>. He is also a friend of former Buffalo Bills<\/a> tight end Kevin Everett<\/a>. After Everett’s career-ending neck injury in 2007<\/a>,<\/sup> Bennett chose to honor Everett by wearing his jersey number for two games during his 2007 junior season at Texas A&M.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/sup>He is also known for his sense of humor.\u00a0As a Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/a><\/i> reporter put it, Bennett “had more memorable quotes than memorable catches at Texas A&M”.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0After being drafted by the Cowboys, Bennett stated, when referring to incumbent quarterback Tony Romo<\/a>: “Any quarterback that can get Jessica Simpson<\/a>, I\u2019ve got to play with him”. The Cowboys addressed his comment shortly afterwards.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0During an interview at the NFL combine, when asked about his interest in both basketball and football, he responded: “Football is my wife<\/a> and basketball is my mistress<\/a>“.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

In early 2014, Bennett told his Twitter<\/a> followers that his first album was on iTunes.\u00a0<\/sup>The album, Fast Food<\/i>, a joint effort with his brother Reshaud Bennett, was originally released in March 2012. Bennett says he has plans to rerelease it in the summer of 2014. On February 7, 2014, Bennett released a new mixtape for free through his Twitter account called Year of the Orange Dinosaur<\/i>.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

During 2014, Bennett announced plans to release an animated short film titled Zoovie<\/i>. The film, starring Bennett, rapper Asher Roth<\/a>, and ESPN personality Cari Champion<\/a>,\u00a0<\/sup>was aired during the Bears’ Family Fest in 2015.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

He is also a children’s author<\/a>, and released his first book Hey A.J. It’s Saturday<\/i> in 2016 through his own company, The Imagination Agency.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n
