This is a great article. I think we're lucky to have him back working for Lea.

"The wide receiver, who spent his entire six-year NFL career with the Bears, earned his doctorate in philosophy from the higher education leadership and policy studies department at the university (of Houston) in December...Bennett finished his undergrad degree at Vanderbilt in 2015, a year after he retired from the NFL, then tacked on a master’s degree in 2018." His goal is to become an athletic director or NFL Team President.
