Times. In the NFL, Bennett's talent at the left outside linebacker position helped the teams he played for to five Super Bowl appearances (four with Buffalo and one with Atlanta), but they lost them all (an NFL record he shares with offensive lineman Glenn Parker). In his 14 NFL seasons, he recorded sacks, 7 interceptions, 31 forced fumbles, 27 fumble recoveries and three touchdowns (one interception, one fumble return, and one blocked field goal return). At the time of his retirement, Bennett's 27 defensive fumble recoveries were the third most in NFL history. Bennett was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. Bennett is a cousin of former New England Patriots defensive end, the late Marquise Hill. Personal life In May 1997, Bennett committed "vicious acts" during a sexual assault of a woman at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Buffalo. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 days in jail for sexual misconduct. He was also placed on three years' probation, fined $500, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service, ordered to pay back $617 in medical bills for the woman, and ordered to undergo anger-management and substance-abuse counseling. Bennett lives in Hollywood, Florida, with his second wife, Kimberly Bennett. In May 2010, Bennett announced he will donate his brain for a CTE study, Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, of long-term brain injuries resulting from football-related injuries.
