Martellus Bennett and Michael Bennett are two of the most outspoken players in the league and aren’t afraid to hold back even if it’s going to ruffle some feathers.
In an interview for ESPN The Magazine, former Bears and current New England Patriots tight end Martellus and his brother Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael took shots at Bears QB Jay Cutler, Eagles’ Sam Bradford, Tom Brady, and many more.
Here are the highlight of the interview

On New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning:
“He’s like a normal white guy you see at the park trying to teach his kids how to play soccer and you know he can’t really play soccer himself.”

“People like J.J. Watt, but they don’t really like J.J. Watt, know what I’m saying?”
