Martellus Bennett’s daughter was the MVP of Patriots’ Super Bowl postgame presser

Bennett is always entertaining, and it apparently runs in the family.

Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett had some company during his press conference following New England’s big comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51. His daughter shared some very important details after the game regarding her dog, Wendy.

Bennett’s daughter had a lot of things to share with the media after her dad’s big win.

Bennett isn’t just getting a Super Bowl ring after the Patriots’ comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons. According to Bennett, he’s also going to get big money in free agency as a result.

Bennett was traded to the Patriots by the Chicago Bears with just one year remaining on his four-year, $20.4 million contract. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins.

With the Patriots’ most reliable receiver, Rob Gronkowski, sidelined by injury, Bennett was key to New England’s offensive success. Bennett had 55 receptions for 701 yards and seven touchdowns this season. He added five catches for 62 yards in the Patriots’ Super Bowl victory.

Bennett was asked in the week leading up to Super Bowl LI if he would consider returning to the Giants.

“I love the Giants,” he said. “That was one of my favorite organizations. A lot of guys have been on the same team for so long so they always ask me about other organizations, and I always tell them how awesome the Giants were.”

Midway through the season, the Patriots indicated that keeping Bennett on the roster would be a priority, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. They may be even more inclined to keep him after he helped New England win yet another Super Bowl.
