Former NFL Star Martellus Bennett Talks About His New Book 'Dear Black Boy' And ‘Black Escapism’

Retired NFL star, Martellus Bennett joined Roland Martin on #RolandMartinUnfiltered to talk about his new book, "Dear Black Boy."

The book, Bennett's third, is "a reminder that they are more than athletes, more than a jersey number, more than a great crossover or a forty-yard dash, that the biggest game that they'll ever play is the game of life, and there are people rooting for them off of the courts and fields, not as athletes, but as future leaders of the world."
