Another Pro Bowl tight end with college basketball history, Bennett played two seasons with the Texas A&M Aggies basketball program. Over the course of his two years, Bennett averaged 1.7 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 30 games.
While Bennett only made one March Madness appearance with the Aggies in the 2006 NCAA Tournament, he performed rather well, recording two points, five rebounds and a steal in the team鈥檚 58-57 loss to LSU. Instead of pursuing basketball, Bennett reinvigorated his focus on football and ended up playing 10 years in the NFL, going to one Pro Bowl and winning a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2016.
