Watch Martellus Bennett's TEDx Talk "More than an Athlete"

You may know Martellus Bennett from his days playing tight end for the Aggies, Cowboys, Giants, Bears and soon the Patriots, but there's another side of "'Tellus" that those who follow him on Instagram are very aware of: his creative side. He's always been one of the most charismatic athletes in pro sports, and he's now trying to break the "athlete" stereotype altogether.

He started The Imagination Agency, wrote a children's book and has even produced an animated short film. He talks about those experiences, how his daughter inspired him and what it was like growing up as a creative in a sports-driven community at TEDxOrcasIsland. And it's fantastic. And you should watch it below. 

Gig 'em, 'Tellus.

Takes some serious intellectual ability to write a children's book.
