The Los Angeles Rams found their backup quarterback in the draft, selecting Stetson Bennett out of Georgia in the fourth round. Bennett was a polarizing prospect leading up to the draft, being an undersized quarterback with mild character concerns but also a winning pedigree.
The Rams didn’t have any problem taking him 128th overall, hoping to have uncovered a future starter in Round 4 – something that doesn’t often happen at the quarterback position. At the very least, he can be a long-time backup in Los Angeles, proving some insurance in case Matthew Stafford gets hurt. And in a best-case scenario, he becomes Stafford’s replacement after the veteran retires from the NFL.
