Defensive end Michael Bennett had high praise for New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick on Monday after the Pats acquired him in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to ESPN.com's William C. Rhoden, Bennett said the following during an appearance at Princeton University's Richardson Auditorium: "From a football perspective, there's a respect for Belichick. I consider him the Yoda of football when it comes to the ins and outs of what's happening around how to prepare for a game."
New England is expected to send a 2020 fifth-round pick to Philadelphia for Bennett and a 2020 seventh-round pick when the trade becomes official Wednesday.
