Martellus Bennett draws political cartoon dedicated to brother Michael

Here's my first political cartoon. Dedicated to my brother @mosesbread72 and all of the other athletes using their platform to promote change. As I've been saying it seems as if "you can use the platform provided to promote products but not to promote change to the products of your environment." I've read a lot of the hate mail and comments sent to my brother as well as the ones sent to me. This illustration is how I feel about it all. here's to those willing to risk it all to promote change. #martyland #theimaginationagency #createdbymarty

Martellus Bennett is turning his passion for art into political statements.

The Green Bay Packers tight end drew a political cartoon and dedicated it to his brother Michael after his recent anthem protests. Michael sat during the national anthem of the Seattle Seahawks' first preseason game and indicated he plans to continue the protest all season.

Artwork is nothing new for Martellus, as he created The Imagination Agency in 2014 where he began drawing characters for children's books.
