Bennett also found Nacua for a 17-yard strike earlier in the drive as well. The touchdown capped an impressive first drive for Bennett as the rookie drove the Rams down the field, converting three of his seven passes for a total of 37 yards. 

Bennett, a former walk-on turned Heisman finalist at the University of Georgia continuously defied the odds during his college career and has greatly exceeded expectations thus far into his NFL career. His play has earned him compliments from fellow players and coaches alike.

"The one thing that stands out is when the ball is in Stetson's hands, the game makes sense to him - he's fun to be around." 

-Sean McVay, LA Rams head coach

Bennett will look to continue to make impressive plays throughout the pre-season as he serves as the backup for former No.1 overall pick and fellow Georgia Bulldog Matthew Stafford.
