“That’s like leaving J.Lo and going to Halle Berry,” Bennett said Thursday (via the Houston Chronicle).

Indeed, it … wait, we all get that “J.Lo” means Jennifer Lopez, right? Okay, good, moving on. Anyway, Bennett is right to crow about his penthouse-to-penthouse quarterback switch, except for a small flaw in his comparison.

Lopez, 47, is three years younger than the 50-year-old Berry, whereas Brady, 39, is considerably older than Rodgers, 33. But age, as they say, ain’t nothing but a number, and both quarterbacks are more than capable of boosting any receiver’s numbers.

Last season, Brady helped Bennett set a career high in touchdowns, with seven, while the veteran tight end caught 55 passes for 701 yards, adding five catches for 62 yards in New England’s Super Bowl triumph. Bennett then signed with the Packers, who rarely make much of a splash in free agency, on a three-year, $21 million deal, and he said that he’s already bonding with Rodgers.

“We talk often. I’m excited about playing with him. We’ve known each other for a while,” said Bennett, who faced off against the Packers from 2013 to 2015 while playing for the rival Bears. “I’m excited about working with him and learning his quarterback language and showing him what type of player I am. I think I’m a lot better player than they think I am.”

For his part, Rodgers may wind up making a real-life switch akin to the picture Bennett painted, given his reported recent breakup with Olivia Munn. Meanwhile, the 30-year-old tight end is clearly pleased with having wound up in such an attractive destination for free agents.
