Michael Bennett Speaks on Lions' White RB, Says Golden Tate Looks Like a Bird

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett is one of the NFL's most quotable players.

He continued his soundbite dominance when speaking about the Detroit Lions, his team's first-round playoff opponents, on Tuesday.

First, the 31-year-old talked about Zach Zenner, Detroit's 25-year-old second-year running back out of South Dakota State. Zenner has three rushing touchdowns in the Lions' past two games.

Here's Bennett on Zenner, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press:

"

I think the running back, man, he's—there's not many white running backs in the NFL but he has to be the best right now. He's doing such a great job of cutbacks and hitting the hole. He's a really good back. I know all the stuff he did in college, three straight seasons of 2,000 yards. I don't care where you're at, if you can do that you have got amazing talent.

"

Next, Bennett took a playful jab at Lions wide receiver Golden Tate, who spent his first four pro seasons with the Seahawks:

"

Golden Tate is just one of those players he can do so much. He can catch the ball, run the ball. His YAC [yards after catch] is just outstanding. And sometimes, he got the weirdest looking body but he can always make plays. I always think he looks like a bird, but I can never understand how that body does what it does.

"

Seattle hosts Detroit at 8:15 p.m. ET Saturday.
