Bennett: I wouldn't visit White House if Patriots win Super Bowl

Jerry Lai / USA TODAY Sports

The New England Patriots may be considered "Trump's team" by some - but not their star tight end.

Among many things discussed at Super Bowl Opening Night, Martellus Bennett told reporters that he does not plan on visiting the White House should the Patriots defeat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

"I don't support the person in (the White House)," Bennett said, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.

President Donald Trump and his travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries were expected to be a topic of discussion at Opening Night. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Falcons receiver Mohamed Sanu avoided questions directed their way about Trump.
