The addition of Martellus Bennett this offseason gave the New England Patriots potentially one of the best tight end tandems in the NFL with himself and Rob Gronkowski.

Now they just have to come up with nicknames for the dynamic duo.

Gronkowski and Bennett swapped suggestions on Instagram following Sunday's practice, and it looks like it's between the Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder song "Ebony and Ivory" and Street Fighter characters "Ken and Ryu."
