Martellus Bennett embracing the Packers' way -- cheesehead and all

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Maybe Martellus Bennett would’ve slept better on the floor of the Lambeau Field locker room Tuesday night if he had been wearing the foam cheesehead he donned for his session with reporters on Thursday.

It was after the first practice of training camp when Bennett put on the familiar prop that some Packers fans wear to games and as only the loquacious veteran tight end can, he spoke to reporters for nearly 30 minutes and never took it off.

“I usually like the metaphorical cheese that goes in my pocket, but the cheese that goes on my head works as well,” Bennett said.
