Martellus Bennett descarta salir del retiro para unirse a su hermano Michael

FOXBOROUGH -- Por mucho que le atrajo la idea de jugar con su hermano, el ala cerrada Martellus Bennett se mantiene retirado.

"Amaría jugar con mi hermano; verdaderamente sería un sueño hecho realidad. Pero mi mayor sueño es cambiar vidas con mi creatividad y es lo que estoy haciendo actualmente", explicó Bennett en una publicación de Instagram.

Swipe. This is why I can't come out of retirement. I would love to play ball with my brother it would truly be a dream come true. But my biggest dream is to change lives with my creativity and that is what I am currently doing @theimaginationagency these kids don't need another athlete to look up to or to aspire to be there's plenty of inspiration out there for that. I want to inspire the next wave of creatives. The storytellers. The engineers. The designers. The doctors. The filmmakers. The composers. Tech moguls. And maybe a few athletes who like me never felt like they belonged in a locker room. I was never one of the guys guys most of my teammates would tell that. I've always been a creative who enjoyed competing. I'm playing the game that I was made to play and it's the most fun I've ever had. Scoring touchdowns winning a super bowl has never made me feel the way seeing kids/families/people enjoying things I have created. I'm doing my life's work fulfilling what I believe to be my life's purpose. I hope everyone finds something that makes them as happy and as fulfilled as I have with my work @theimaginationagency I appreciate all of the love but this is waaaaayyy bigger than the game of football.

La posibilidad de que Bennett, de 32 años de edad, saliera del retiro surgió cuando su hermano Michael Bennett fue adquirido por los New England Patriots en un canje de los Philadelphia Eagles hace un par de semanas.

Martellus Bennett ganó un Super Bowl con los Patriots en el 2016 y ha hablado en excelentes términos de su tiempo con la franquicia. Había regresado brevemente a los Patriots en el 2017, aterrizando en la lista de reservas lesionados antes de retirarse.

Fundó una agencia de creatividad, con el propósito de inspirar a los jóvenes.

"Aprecio todo el amor, pero esto es muuuuucho más importante que el juego de fútbol americano", escribió en su cuenta de Instagram.
