Stetson Bennett overcame the odds during his college football days and rose to stardom. But his first year in the NFL was rocky, leaving many with more questions than answers.
While Matthew Stafford was and remains entrenched as the Los Angeles Rams' starting quarterback, the team last year used a fourth-round draft pick on two-time College Football Playoff national championship-winning quarterback Stetson Bennett. The former Georgia Bulldogs star was expected to be Stafford's backup during his rookie season and the foreseeable future.
There are certain things that I think are a little bit bigger and more important, and out of respect for the particulars and the specifics, want to be able to keep it in-house,' Rams coach Sean McVay in September when asked about Bennett. Bennett is now back with the team, and he appears to be on the path to competing for the backup role. The Rams signed veteran signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo in March, but he will miss the first two games of the season.
This week, Rams general manager Les Snead finally offered some insight into what transpired with the quarterback last season. Snead suggested Bennett was burned out after back-to-back college football titles. 'I know this: Last year was very beneficial for him. I think he took advantage of that year away from the game,' Snead told Alabama's News 19.
Bennett was at the Rams' training complex last month for the start of the team's offseason program. He was also present for practice this week. McVay was complimentary of the second-year quarterback. 'He's done a great job,' McVay said Tuesday. 'He's got a good look in his eye. I really appreciate the way that he's come to work. He's been really attentive in the meetings. I think Dave Ragone has done a great job with the quarterbacks as a whole.
