The retired tight end spent one full season with the New England Patriots in 2016, a dominant 14-2 campaign that ended in a Super Bowl LI victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Bennett returned to the Patriots for two games in 2017 before retiring, but when he joined veteran safety Devin McCourty and his twin brother Jason on their "Double Coverage" podcast this week, the topic du jour was that 2016 season.
