Ron Chenoy / USA TODAY Sports
Green Bay Packers tight end Martellus Bennett announced Saturday he intends to donate all the money he receives from the sale of his jersey to charitable programs.
Bennett's No. 80 jersey - which he allowed fans to vote for online - isn't available yet.
I'll take all the money from my @packers jersey sales and put it towards the after school programs that I'm working to put together.

He added that his brother, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, motivated him. Michael is donating all of his endorsement money in 2017 to charity.
I've always looked up to my big bro @mosesbread72 who has always challenged me on and off the field. I'll step up on this one too.
