Neal discusses Packers new tight Martellus Bennett

Falcons strong safety Keanu Neal is looking forward to matching up with Green Bay tight end Martellus Bennett.

“At the end of the day, we line up and we play our ball,” Neal said on Wednesday. “Everything else will take care of itself.”

He also noted the Packers other tight ends in Lance Kendricks and Richard Rodgers.

“They are bigger guys,” Neal said. “At the end of the day, we just have to play our ball and handle them from that standpoint. But, you know, they are all great players. They can get open. You just have to play them tough.”
