"I have several nicknames I go by," he said. "The Black Unicorn is just the one that seems to stick the longest. Basically, black unicorns are rare. Anytime you see a picture like at school, when you get the folders, they all have the white unicorn on there. So being African-American, I just thought it would be clever to be the Black Unicorn.

"I mean, unicorns are cool. But I prefer dinosaurs, honestly. One day, I had black tights on and I was running down the field and I just felt like a unicorn. I didn't feel like a horse. I felt like a unicorn. So I just say the Black Unicorn. There was nothing special about it. It was just spur of the moment. I like it, though. I like the nickname. It's like the Black Mamba for Kobe (Bryant). The Black Unicorn. It's magical. I enjoy magic. I'm a Harry Potter fan."

Did Martellus Bennett just become my favorite non-chiefs player?
