The two-time national champion will move to Los Angeles to assist Matthew Stafford and train with Sean McVay.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett may have enormous disadvantages in the NFL, but his performance in college is indisputable. During the 2021 season, Bennett took over as the Bulldogs starting quarterback. He started 12 of the 14 games that season, throwing for 2,862 yards, 29 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. In addition, he ran for 259 yards and a score on 56 occasions.<\/p>\n<p>He started each of the Bulldogs&#8217; 15 games last year, helping them win another championship. During the 2022 season, Bennett passed for 4,127 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He ran the ball 57 times for 205 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, which are very outstanding stats.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Stetson Bennett is officially a Los Angeles Ram.<\/p>\n<p>The last time he played at SoFi Stadium, this happened \ud83c\udfc6 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tXQjlFhT27\">pic.twitter.com\/tXQjlFhT27<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportsCenter\/status\/1652365677787766792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 29, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stetson Bennett NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Position: Quarterback<br \/>\nSchool: Georgia<br \/>\nYear: Redshirt Senior height and weight: 5&#8217;11&#8221; and 192 lbs.<br \/>\nLength: 28 7\/8\u2033<br \/>\nHand: 10\u2033<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Stetson Bennett&#8217;s Scouting Report<\/h2>\n<p>Bennett&#8217;s height and weight are finalized by the combine, but they are recorded as 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, which are obviously far from the ideal physique for a modern quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett&#8217;s size may be compared to Brock Purdy&#8217;s, who at the 2017 combine weighed 212 pounds and stood almost 6 inches tall.

He will turn 26 in October. During the Bulldogs&#8217; crushing of TCU in the national championship game, Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk provided this pearl of wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>Why is his age relevant? The (reasonable) thinking is as follows: He is far more advanced than 99.99% of his opponents at Georgia this season in every way, yet he is only 25. Bennett&#8217;s potential at the next level is further constrained by his age because, during the 2022\u201323 season, he mostly played against players between the ages of 18 and 22 rather than preparing, competing, and honing his skills against players his own age (professionals).<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/jontweetssports\/status\/1652364197248770050?s=20<\/p>\n<p>Despite his advanced age, he only started 32 games in college\u2014not 50 or more.
