Martellus Bennett slams former Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for missing a game in 2016

Martellus Bennett has always been a straight shooter, and also he did not pull any punches during a recent appearance on the Double Coverage podcast. Talking to former New England Patriots teammate Devin McCourty and his twin brother, Miami Dolphins defensive back Jason McCourty, Bennett went hard after another ex-Patriot: Jimmy Garoppolo.

The topic of the conversation was the 2016 Patriots, who featured Bennett, Garoppolo and Devin McCourty, and who went on to win the Super Bowl after a 14-2 regular season.

That season started with Tom Brady sidelined for four games; the plan was for Garoppolo to take over until the future Hall of Famer would return.
