Stetson Bennett Wins Again, Now as Los Angeles Rams Quarterback
Stetson Bennett IV, the two-time national champion quarterback from the University of Georgia, has continued his winning streak after being selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft (Fox News). Bennett had faced doubts about his prospects in the draft, despite his impressive college career, which included back-to-back national titles (Wall Street Journal).
The Rams chose Bennett with the 128th overall pick (NFL.com), adding another former Georgia Bulldog to their roster alongside their starting quarterback (DawgNation). Los Angeles’ decision to draft Bennett was considered a home run by some analysts, though others considered it a reach (CBS Sports).
Bennett’s path to the NFL draft was atypical and filled with challenges, but his underdog story will now continue in Los Angeles (WSB-TV). The former walk-on at Georgia had faced concerns that his relatively short stature and lack of college starting experience would negatively affect his professional prospects (New York Post).
During his time with the Georgia Bulldogs, Bennett’s perseverance and determination helped him overcome adversity and prove his critics wrong, ultimately leading his team to back-to-back national championships (USA Today). As he begins his NFL career with the Rams, Bennett will once again have the opportunity to defy expectations as an underdog with a Hollywood story to tell (DawgNation).
