In a surprising turn of events, former Georgia quarterback and two-time national champion Stetson Bennett was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft (Fox News). Bennett’s unlikely journey has led him to the fourth round, where he was taken with the No. 128 pick (DawgNation). This pick comes amid speculation that Bennett could last well into Day 3 or even go undrafted (USA Today).
The Rams are betting on Bennett to prove doubters wrong in his professional career, much like he did in college (NFL.com). They have added another Bulldog to back up their current Georgia quarterback, Matthew Stafford (NFL.com). Bennett’s selection by the Rams has shocked Twitter users, as it might signal that the 2021 Super Bowl champions are planning for life after Stafford (Bleacher Report).
Prior to the draft, teams were blowing up Georgia coach Kirby Smart’s phone about Stetson Bennett, showing potential interest in drafting the quarterback (247 Sports). Despite winning back-to-back national championships, Bennett’s standing as a pro prospect was uncertain, and he was even considered a long wait at the NFL Draft (Wall Street Journal). However, he has now been drafted by the Rams, continuing his journey and potentially proving doubters wrong once again (USA Today).
