Stetson Bennett Impressing Early for Los Angeles Rams

We are now just a couple of months removed from the 2023 NFL draft, and this year's rookie class is already starting to get settled in with their new teams. One of Georgia's many draft picks this year was quarterback Stetson Bennett, who was an early fourth-round selection for the Los Angeles Rams.

NFL organizations have had the opportunity to get an early look at their draft picks for this year, and Bennett has already started to turn heads with the Rams, according to head coach Sean McVay and veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. Coming out of college, there was a belief that Bennett's game would not translate well to the professional level, but based on the early rumblings out of the Rams' camp, that doesn't appear to be the case.

Stetson Bennett reportedly “really pleased” Rams HC Sean McVay throughout off-season practices.

McVay said he’s seen “steady progress” with Bennett and “loves” his athleticism.

Matthew Stafford also said Bennett has done a “great job” and does “a lot” of things really well… pic.twitter.com/QOrUzAyvFZ

Stafford, another former Georgia quarterback, has served as the starter for the Rams since 2021 and helped them claim a Super Bowl in his first season in LA. Now as he enters the late stage of his career, Stafford is tasked with helping guide Bennett along the way into becoming a potential starting NFL quarterback.

This is not the first time that an all-time great NFL quarterback has had positive things to say about Bennett, either. Former Green Bay Packer, now New York Jet, Aaron Rodgers, told Bennett that he enjoyed watching him play while he was at Georgia and even was gifted a signed jersey from the legendary quarterback.

Despite his small stature and not looking the part of a typical professional quarterback, Bennett continues to fight his way through his journey as a football player, and who knows, perhaps within the next year, Bennett will be preparing for his first season as an NFL starter if he keeps impressing out in Los Angeles.
