RENTON, Wash. -- During an interview on SportsCenter, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett on Monday confirmed that he reached out to Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton to clarify comments he made about athletes and social change.
"I just said that I'm not trying to make a division within the community of NFL players," Bennett said. "I'm just trying to bring unity, basically. Sometimes you read things, and it comes out like I'm saying that that's the main person. But I'm just saying that we need to work together to come together with what's going on and figure a way, how can we be better?
