Martellus Bennett is leaving football behind and heading off on a new adventure, according to a post on the former New England Patriot tight end’s Instagram account.
“I’ve decided to move on from the world of football and into the fantastical and wondrous world of creativity,” Bennett wrote in the post. “To be honest I was never really a football player I’ve always just been a creative guy who played football. I’ve loved some parts of the game but never everything about it.”
He went on to describe his football career as a “roller coaster ride,” and thanked his teammates, coaches, and fans.
