Stetson Bennett

Having guided his Georgia Bulldogs to a second straight National Championship, the focus has now naturally shifted to the QB's future in the NFL.

Bennett took the decision to return to the Bulldogs and the rest is history. At that point, he was heading for the 2019 season and as things were, Bennett considered transferring to Louisiana, but as we know the previously mentioned Fields transferred to Ohio State at which point the backup spot at Georgia was now free. That’s to say, that the signal caller could potentially slip under the radar and make his way on to the roster of one of the league’s better teams. Indeed, Bennett will likely have to fight tooth and nail for a starting spot if that’s the case. In truth, the Bulldogs and their signal caller destroyed TCU’s horned frogs on Monday at SoFi stadium and with that, Bennett brought the curtain down on a college career that has been both frustrating and fantastic at times. With a second consecutive national championship in the bag, it’s now safe to say there is nothing left for the Georgia Bulldogs’ quarterback, Stetson Bennett, to do at the collegiate level.

The MVP was asked about what he'd tell the NFL ahead of a potential pick-up, and Bennett didn't seem too sure, as he said: "Hard worker. Bennett may be smaller, but his record as a starter speaks for itself, boasting a 29-3 tally as Georgia quarterback. "He needs an opportunity to play for a long time at the next level. "People slept on Stetson Bennett for a long time," Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said. Bennett's performance in his final Georgia game summed up his college career for the Bulldogs - spirited, impressive, and full of character. One major reason for that was quarterback Stetson Bennett, who certified himself as a Georgia legend after leading them to back-to-back titles.

When asked specifically where his play Monday ranks among his best performances, he declined to give an answer but slyly said he’d enjoy watching the film of the game later. Bennett completed 68.3% of his pass attempts for 4,127 yards with 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions while also rushing for 10 additional scores in Georgia’s first 14 games. That was simply just the start for Bennett, who balled out through a little over three quarters of action and earned Offensive MVP honors by going 18-of-25 passing for 304 yards with 6 total touchdowns. With his final game officially in the books Monday night, the super senior had an opportunity to reflect a bit on his accomplishments as a Bulldog. Bennett fielded several questions about his time as Georgia’s starting quarterback and how he’ll be looked at going forward.

He was the No. He also added three carries for 39 yards and an additional two scores. Hitting on 65.7% of his passes, he also added 14 rushing touchdowns.

"He saw the max blitz and he beat the max blitz and ran for a first down in one of the biggest plays of the game which takes a phenomenal athlete,” Smart said after the game.

And I have a very serious appreciation for that because they do it for a university I love. [Stetson Bennett](https://247sports.com/player/stetson-bennett-iv-89844/) went out on a high note in his last career game for the Bulldogs, leading the red and black to a 65-7 win over TCU in the College Football Playoff national championship on Monday night.

The quarterback's posts give a glimpse into what his football life might've been like had he not persevered at Georgia.

The Bulldogs stepped on the gas and never looked back, downing upstart TCU, 65–7. The primary focus of the posts that started to go viral was the quarterback tweeting out offers from programs that he received when first trying to get recruited to play in college. Rather than attend Columbia or Middle Tennessee, Bennett opted to walk on at Georgia, not once but twice.

The Bulldogs' blowout victory against TCU didn't diminish the Playoff. It simply proved the team's A-game is a mile ahead of everyone else's.

And we have a saying around our place: We eat off the floor. The College Football Playoff championship game was a complete dud, as the Horned Frogs’ fairy-tale season crashed and burned at the feet of a brutal opponent. Replacing Bennett will be a huge task, but the pipeline of talent never runs dry in Athens. Poor TCU was treated to Georgia’s bounce-back performance and was overwhelmed from the start. The Frogs became Georgia’s 15th victim in an undefeated season, and only two of those 15 games were close: the comeback at Missouri in October and “Some of the checks [audibles] he made, some of the decisions he made, just really elite,” Smart said. Could Georgia actually repeat after sending a flotilla of talent to the pros? And as coach Kirby Smart declared after this 65–7 trucking of TCU—the biggest rout in the history of either the CFP or BCS—this was his finest performance. They were a magnificent collection of athletes, huge and fast, and they were serious about honing their craft. The guy nicknamed “The Mailman” delivered to a whole lot of people. [obliteration of TCU](https://www.si.com/college/2023/01/10/georgia-routs-tcu-stetson-bennett-national-title-analysis) long over and the postgame press conference concluded, Stetson Bennett was standing in one end zone of SoFi Stadium waiting to do a live interview with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt. It’s the stuff of screenplays, an athlete rocketing from universally doubted to universally celebrated, but it’s all real.

Bennett has two national titles, but can that transfer to career in the NFL? "He knew what was coming and he set the guy up. But what he lacks in brawn he appears to make up for elsewhere. A national championship eluded Stafford at Georgia, but he was the No. He ran for a touchdown because he's got a tackle that's like a tight end out there in Broderick. "He did a change of protection and made an elite throw. And what did he do with it? And he smoked that cigar like a seasoned pro as confetti fell from the roof and Georgia backers yelled their approval. "I don't know – hard worker, pretty good at football, smart. It’s uncertain how early his name will be called – assuming it will be called sometime during the three-day draft April 27-29 – but more predictable is what his doubters will say. He waited four long years. He was about to transfer to the University of Louisiana but thought better of it, and waited for his chance in Athens, Georgia.

UGA quarterback Stetson Bennett was a key part of the Georgia's dominant national championship victory over the TCU Horned Frogs.

Mattress Mack has lost a whopping $9.2 million betting against Georgia in last two national title games. Well, you can't win them all.

After winning a second consecutive national championship at Georgia, the 25-year-old quarterback is now facing questions about his NFL draft qualifications.

“Will stare down targets and his accuracy is good, not great,” Bugler said. “About midway through this season was when I started to hear from scouts that Bennett had a realistic chance of being drafted,” Bugler said Tuesday. He remained driven through the end of his college career. He needs an opportunity to play for a long time at the next level.” Bennett (5-11, 190) is seen as undersized and lacking elite arm strength —the same questions he faced when he walked on at Georgia in 2017. “And people have slept on Stetson Bennett for too long.

Tim Tebow is in this class, and I'm not sure there is one player in the history of the game who was more universally loved as he played on a team universally loathed. And there are several names on that list that deserve a tip of the visor. Now he is in talks to return to the Twins? Be it conference title games to expansion to grabbing control of the game that controls college sports, it just means more in the SEC in large part because of Kramer's efforts. Texas and K-State will be the best teams in a Big 12 that will be decidedly down. Clemson has recruited too well for too long to take a huge leap back, and it will be interesting to see how much of the blame of the malaise of late will fall at the feet of D.J. Utah will always be competitive as long as Kyle Wittingham is on the sideline. Speaking of the portal, this may be low for the Irish, who landed Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman, who is the biggest difference-maker in the portal. The receiving corps will be the best in the country with returning talent and incoming transfers. This may be a bit lofty for UT, but the portal has been kind, and I think Joe Milton has NFL tools. The biggest decision looming in the sport will not be a signing-day declaration or a portaling position from a coveted player. -- the Indiana transfer who is going to go from NIL to AARP after next season -- had arguably the best season of anyone not named Caleb west of the Mississippi -- and Oregon's Bo Nix is back for his 14th college campaign.

"I think he goes down as the top," Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey said when asked where Bennett will rank among all-time great Georgia players, according to ESPN. "I walked in (to the SoFi Stadium coach's office after the game) and my 10-year-old son, Andrew, is bawling.

How does the two-time national champion stack up as an NFL Draft prospect?

At the intermediate level is where Bennett throws with the most accuracy and assertiveness, even through layers of coverage. Against Florida, a team that could come close to matching Georgia athletically down the field, Bennett's downfield accuracy and lack of arm talent were clearly apparent. The whole attack doesn't have to be centered around dink and dunk. When he needed to operate outside the pocket, Bennett was plenty capable. At times, he was a little too comfy in the pocket, which frequently led to him taking massive, avoidable shots. His tight, textbook release gets rid of the ball in a hurry, which helps alleviate some of the drawbacks of his weaker arm strength, but let's just say Bennett will not be asked to make many out routes toward the sideline from the far hash in the NFL. Here's the (justified) thinking: At 25, he is much more advanced in every aspect than 99.99% of his competition at Georgia this season. Monken's offense was astutely designed to give Bennett a sensible order at which to get through his reads, and he often did so before ripping a strike at the intermediate level. Bennett is very patient in the pocket. Also, the age limits his upside at the next level because instead of practicing, playing, and developing his game against others his age (professionals), Bennett mostly faced 18 to 22-year-olds during the 2022-23 campaign. By [NFL](/nfl/) size standards at the quarterback position, Bennett is tiny. Then there's, of course, the age factor, which you've heard about since probably last season when Bennett took a secure grasp of Georgia's starting quarterback job.
