Two-time national champion quarterback Stetson Bennett could not have dreamed of a better landings spot when he received the call from Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay at the NFL draft last month.
The Georgia legend – the MVP in his two College Football Playoff final appearances after joining the team as a walk-on in 2017 – was taken in the fourth round by the Rams in Kansas City, joining fellow Bulldogs icon Matthew Stafford in the QB room in LA.
Despite his pedigree at the college level, Bennett was not a highly-rated prospect heading into the draft like former No.1 overall pick Stafford, meaning he had to wait until day three to hear his name called amid concerns over his size, arm and athleticism to play the position at the NFL level.
