Green Bay Packers tight end Martellus Bennett undoubtedly loves playing football and being out on the field. But that’s not where he ultimately wants his life to end.
New York Jets rookie safety Jamal Adams made jaws drop when he chimed in on the conversation regarding CTE and player safety at a Jets forum Monday.
“Literally, if I had the perfect place to die,” Adams said, per ESPN’s Rich Cimini, “I’d die on the field.”
After seeing this, Bennett responded with a couple of strong statements of his own.

“Look football is great but I ain’t dying for this s***,” he added.
Commissioner Roger Goodell was also in attendance at the Jets fan forum and had something interesting to say about another hot topic. We can only imagine what an awkward situation Adams’ comments generated for the league office.
As for Bennett, he has years of experience in the league. Enough so to know that getting knocked around during NFL game time is no fun.
