The fur-lined Gucci footwear looked a bit like fuzzy bedroom slippers, but when he introduced himself to reporters Monday at NovaCare, Michael Bennett didn’t act like a guy who was easing toward a a part-time role.
After riffing about how he didn’t think there was a tight end in the league who could block him, Bennett, 32, namechecked the starting quarterbacks in his new division, the NFC East.
“I know Eli Manning’s probably watching this and thinking, like, ‘Yes, [Bennett is] coming.’ I know Dak [Prescott] is watching this like, ‘Yeah, he’s coming.’ Yeah I am. And Alex Smith, you know he can’t run from me, I told him in the Pro Bowl,” said Bennett, whose Pro Bowl appearance this year was his third in a row.
