BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- Tight end Martellus Bennett provided the day's excitement Friday at Chicago Bears training camp, when he became involved in a brawl with nickel corner Kelvin Hayden that eventually turned into a scrum of several players in the middle of the practice field at Olivet Nazarene University.
Shortly after catching a pass from Jay Cutler, Bennett turned up field as Hayden grabbed the tight end from behind and pulled him to the ground. Bennett rose and knocked down Hayden only to find several defensive players, including safeties Major Wright, Anthony Walters, and Chris Conte -- among others -- on top of him. Coaches and players quickly rushed to the middle of the field to break up the melee.
"It's hot, you know. I'm actually a mean person. I know you all think I joke around ... but I am not. I am very aggressive," Bennett said. "They are aggressive with me. I am aggressive with them. You come hard at me, I come hard at you all day. I don't back down for anything, anyone."
Bennett claimed he never threw a punch during the brawl, but he certainly appeared to be punching, as did several others involved.
Not necessarily a big deal, but seems silly of Bennett to do something like that. There's more details if you click the link as well.
