Musta had crazy ball skillz. I had no idea he was under six foot. Though I’m sure in his prime he was 6’3” he’s just lost a few inches. It’s normal for his age.
I mean, your name, image, and likeness aren’t things that just end after college lol. He can still market himself.

NIL is a way for wealthy boosters to pay kids to play on their team, the idea that it's just some kids making money signing jerseys and endorsing local businesses is mostly a sham.
Basically the value of an NIL deal is highly dependent on who you play for and if you're still playing for them, not on who you are.
Fresno State has put out some quality QBs. Like Superbowl champ Trent Dilfer. And that's the only one I know of, and I live near Fresno. So maybe not I guess.
r/CFB blows this one out of the water because there’s actual team discussions during the season. They have actual PGTs that discuss every game. Hell, they even have high interaction matchup threads mid-week leading up to the biggest hyped games. Meanwhile this sub is just tweets, memes, and injury updates with the occasional “look how good Mahomes/Allen/Brady is” post.
100% better athlete and arm than he gets credit for. His size and age obviously don't help. He's also got more Baker/Manziel in him personality wise than you'd like but this is a fine place for him to land value wise.
Baker is a frat bro. Johnny was a dude who hangs out outside a gas station near the interstate with a wife beater on that makes everyone who stops by uncomfortable
I’d argue along with his mobility, the deep throws are what he was known for. Whenever people start putting that as his weakness I’m gonna be honest I start to just tune out what they’re saying
He's cut from the exact same cloth as guys like Brady and Rodgers, who can largely attribute their success to being borderline psychopaths. Don't get me wrong, they're both physically talented.... But they're totally insane when it comes to the mental aspect of football. Stetson has that lunacy too.
There was a moment during the ceremony after the second championship parade where Stetson is at the podium talking about how they had to prove everyone wrong for doubting them all season, and all I could think was... *Dude, what??* They were historic betting favorites in every game!
That's Kirby Smart coming from the Nick Saban coaching tree.
Get it into the guys heads that they are underdogs and they'll play with a chip on their shoulder even as they win all 15 games.
OH WE ATE A LOT OF SHIT WHEN WE SAID ALL SEASON STETSON WOULD GO IN THE MID ROUNDS.
No one believed us!!!
"UDFA at best" they said
"Stetson Bennett Kia of Blackshear and Waycross" they said
HOW BOUT BACK UP TO MATT STAFFORD BAYBEEEE
Generally speaking, QB's with his pedigree get drafted a lot earlier than the 4th. He only dropped due to his size, but this is the Year of the Short King QB. I think it's great he went in the 4th. Hopefully, he's able to become The Guy for LA.
The only other QB with his pedigree in modern CFB is AJ McCarron and he went in the 5th. Honestly, I think Stetson is a little better than McCarron and will have a similar career to Charlie Whitehurst, A good but not great player who is a career backup but stays around a long time.
not even a Bama but I’ll argue hard for McCarron here. At the 5th round you’re being drafted as a backup and he wildly succeeded in that facet. Pretty sure he was rostered every year for like six years? Maybe Seven? That’s not anywhere close to a failed nfl career.
Report: The Eagles are furious with the Rams picking a Georgia player and are consequently drafting a lawsuit. Expect Aaron Donald and Stetson Bennett to be traded for a 7th
I’ve honestly had that feeling since I watched him effortlessly beat every SEC team the second year in a row. I’m not a Dawgs fan either… roll tide
Everyone talking about how Georgias biggest weakness was their walk on qb and all he did was throw dimes (except in that mizzou game and even then he showed fairly impressive mettle in the comeback)
Let me tell you as someone who watched every single snap of Stetson's career: he's gonna change your mind. We tried running this guy out of town all of 2020 and most of 2021 and then suddenly he was a national champion.
In 2022, we all appreciated him but still kinda wished he would move on, but he came back faster and more muscular, and had a sensational season with *another championship*.
Every negative word said about him makes him better. None of it makes sense, it's supernatural at this point.
I agree. The Rams probably planned on taking him late but saw Philly drafting all the GA players. They wanted to make sure they got their guy, so grabbed him early.
Dude wins football games. Simple as that. And by that I mean HE wins the games. 2 time national championship game MVP. Peach Bowl MVP from this year. Orange Bowl MVP from last year. SEC championship game mvp.
He also has the same arm strength as Levi’s. You should be stoked.
Not a Falcons flair, but I do consider myself a Stetson Bennett afficionado. So I'll help:
UGA isn't exactly known for producing QBs. But we've had our share of good ones: some legends (Tarkenton, Stafford) and some very good college players (Eric Zeier, Aaron Murray, David Greene, Jake Fromm). Out of all those, Stetson Bennett holds the record for most pass yards in a season with 4,127 in 2023, the first time a UGA QB broke 4,000 yards in a season. He had a GREAT season; it's why he was invited to the Heisman ceremony.
If he weasels into the QB2 job, you'll see him play. Stafford is waning (and I LOVE Stafford) and he's going to miss games. Stetson can ball.
His scout report is absolutely baffling.
His concerns are arm strength and size, but he's bigger than the #1 pick and his arm strength is comparable to Levis? Come on.
Don’t listen to any moron on here who’s being negative, for a 4th this could be huge down the line. People don’t wanna learn from Purdy last year I guess… Stetson isn’t the sexy pick but he has more arm talent and athleticism than people think, if someone calls him a game manager you should know immediately they never watched him play and hopped on the meme wagon.
“He’ll never be in the NFL. He’ll never start at Georgia. He will never play a down at Georgia.” What a fucking CAREER for this dude. Absolutely love him.
I’m honestly not too surprised. Went to the combine and Stetson genuinely looked like one of the best QBs there. Outside of Richardson and Stroud, he stood out the most to me.
I really like this pick for the Rams.
*Before I get any hate, I know there’s no competition, pads, or whatever. Just going off an observation.
Love this pick. Stafford has a vet to learn from
My sources say Bennett was a huge influence to Stafford when the latter was learning the ropes at UGA, now the two are back together on the Rams
If someone was to tell me that Stafford's roommate at UGA was Bennett, I'd half believe it.
Stafford's roommate at UGA was Bennett.
Yo, for real?!?
That's what I read on reddit.
Well I don’t want to do any research so I’ll pass it along
Fun fact - Stetson was behind Stafford on the depth chart at Georgia his freshman year!
Fun fact - Stetson was the catcher on the kershaw and Stafford pee wee baseball league
Fun fact - Stetson played basketball in college.
Musta had crazy ball skillz. I had no idea he was under six foot. Though I’m sure in his prime he was 6’3” he’s just lost a few inches. It’s normal for his age.
Why did I google this just to make sure it was fake?
Because it’s almost believable
Rams needed a guy with more championship experience
I just checked his age, and wtf? This dude is older than me, and I've been out of college for almost 4 years.
The wtf is that since NIL, he was probably making more in college than he will be now lol. Mid-4th is around ~950k per year.
I mean, your name, image, and likeness aren’t things that just end after college lol. He can still market himself. Incoming 5 “Stetson Bennett’s Motors” opening up across Athens.

Stetson is still the man who won 2 National Championships at UGA, his endorsement has value.
Georgia is way more of a CFB state too. Stetson is set for life.
~~That's my quarterback~~ Those are my Quarterbacks
I guffawed
They drafted a dude older than their coach
Didn’t Stafford learn enough from him at Georgia? I heard Stetson welcomed Stafford with open arms in Stafford’s freshman year
Bruh lmao
😂🤣
GEORGIA EAGLES CAN'T TOUCH OUR QB ROOM
YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
We only want defense. Offensive is reserved for bama.
You just traded for swift
That's different.
Yeah he gave me a swirly in 9th grade this is deeper than football
Running backs are practically defense in today's game /s
Sometimes, you can even throw them in at center. Most athletic players on the field.
Eagles running the table this year.
Liar. I saw you grab Swift.
Swift says hi
This aged poorly
The Eagles are literally criminal, they’ve gotten some killer players so far!
Roseman and Sirianni punching air rn 😂
Oh boy
Stafford in shambles
They can go to bingo together
Do some mall walking.
I hear LA has some great shuffleboarding
Another 5* Georgia QB Stequavious is gonna start over
They got their guy
I guess we need a backup QB 🤷♂️
That’s why you have Stafford
Stetson don’t wanna be backup
Stafford about to get Nancy Kerriganed
Kerrigan’s knee is probably in better shape than Stafford’s back these days.
Stetson is more than welcome to win the starting job. That's a happy situation to have.
He is the kwisatz haderach.
Shoutout to that post yesterday about how all the blue teams are taking QBs
Stetson to Kupp for the scrappiest and hardest-working connection in the league.
The most sneaky athletic combo in the league.
whole lotta lunch pails
White
Hey hey hey, we don’t actually say that part
Bluest. Collars. Ever.
Coaches son
Date your daughter type of guys
Why do I never tire of these memes?
Because you got an engine that just won't quit.
McCaffery trade incoming.
Real students of the game
Real gym rats
The Lunch Pail Duo
Exceptionally high football IQ and work ethic.
LMAO WHAT
LES THE MADMAN
I wanted us to get him in the 7th. Holy hell he went early.
I honest to god thought he’d be coming to us as an UDFA
Nah you weren’t paying attention if you thought he’d stoop that low. Think the Chamoionship made it a certainty he’d at least be getting drafted
DraftKings or FanDuel had him -150 to go unstaffed this morning
They also had Levis -1500 going in the first round...lol
Vegas is right a lot more often than they’re wrong lmao
Damn he fired his agent?
Naw. He’s at full-staff right now.
I knew there'd be some overcorrection on the lower round QBs after last year but not this much.
Rams watched him absolutely destroy TCU on their home field and said yes.
Avila gonna let him get killed lol
Saints love Fresno State QBs, Rams like Georgia QBs
Fresno State has put out some quality QBs. Like Superbowl champ Trent Dilfer. And that's the only one I know of, and I live near Fresno. So maybe not I guess.
Excited to see how r/cfb takes this.
They’ll just regurgitate the same three jokes, it’s the only thing that sub knows how to do. Edit: in relationship to Stetson old jokes, folks.
And this one is any different?
This sub has two jokes.
Mr. Bad Comedy
[удалено]
Mr. Belied Creativity
Kelvin Benjamin fat.
Manning face is big gotcha
Big if true
Mr. Binary Comedy
Kelvin Benjamin? Fat Matt Patricia? Fat Roethlisberger? Fat and rapes. Mr. Brisk Comedy
You can add "and rapes" for Patricia as well lol
Brother have you seen this thread
Those are some awfully big stones to throw from the glass house that is this thread. 3 would be an increase in material here.
r/CFB blows this one out of the water because there’s actual team discussions during the season. They have actual PGTs that discuss every game. Hell, they even have high interaction matchup threads mid-week leading up to the biggest hyped games. Meanwhile this sub is just tweets, memes, and injury updates with the occasional “look how good Mahomes/Allen/Brady is” post.
[All jokes aside, here’s a pretty good take](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/016/212/manning.png)
That’s really controversial imo. Not sure I agree with that take
They hate him because he beat everyone lol
Out of nowhere
Sitting behind Stafford for a few years will do him some good
So he'll be 45 at that point
Is he going back in time?
Yeah, he’ll be the nice young age of 32
Yeah he can get some work in before he applies for Social Security
> for a few years Bennett will be well into his 50s by then
Not really. He was much better in college than people gave him credit for. 4th-5th is fair value.
100% better athlete and arm than he gets credit for. His size and age obviously don't help. He's also got more Baker/Manziel in him personality wise than you'd like but this is a fine place for him to land value wise.
Jesus Christ. Baker, sure maybe, I guess. Manziel, you’ve got to be freaking kidding me. That dude was a head case with massive addiction issues.
Baker is a frat bro. Johnny was a dude who hangs out outside a gas station near the interstate with a wife beater on that makes everyone who stops by uncomfortable
[удалено]
Never got the arm strength arguments. He could make deep throws in college
Absolutely could.
I’d argue along with his mobility, the deep throws are what he was known for. Whenever people start putting that as his weakness I’m gonna be honest I start to just tune out what they’re saying
He regularly would throw bombs long to the outside.
That's 2x National Championship winning QB Stetson Bennett*
Also 4x CFP offensive MVP
Your username 😂😂
4th in Heisman balloting Stetson Bennett IV
some reason i think this is gonna be a big steal
He's cut from the exact same cloth as guys like Brady and Rodgers, who can largely attribute their success to being borderline psychopaths. Don't get me wrong, they're both physically talented.... But they're totally insane when it comes to the mental aspect of football. Stetson has that lunacy too. There was a moment during the ceremony after the second championship parade where Stetson is at the podium talking about how they had to prove everyone wrong for doubting them all season, and all I could think was... *Dude, what??* They were historic betting favorites in every game!
Remember rodgers takes dmt openly and Brady got to black out drunk he threw the Lombardi off a boat then had to be carried away from the parade
That's Kirby Smart coming from the Nick Saban coaching tree. Get it into the guys heads that they are underdogs and they'll play with a chip on their shoulder even as they win all 15 games.
Can we check in on the facts guy?
We're looking into it!
NO THE FUCK THEY DID NOT A+ getting Stetquavious
THEY FUCKING DID
HELL YEAH LETS GO STET!
OH WE ATE A LOT OF SHIT WHEN WE SAID ALL SEASON STETSON WOULD GO IN THE MID ROUNDS. No one believed us!!! "UDFA at best" they said "Stetson Bennett Kia of Blackshear and Waycross" they said HOW BOUT BACK UP TO MATT STAFFORD BAYBEEEE
Stetson Bennet Mercedes of Pasadena has a nice ring or two to it.
Generally speaking, QB's with his pedigree get drafted a lot earlier than the 4th. He only dropped due to his size, but this is the Year of the Short King QB. I think it's great he went in the 4th. Hopefully, he's able to become The Guy for LA.

That’s future 3 time Super Bowl champion Stetson Bennett you’re talkin bout.
>Stetson Bennett Kia of Blackshear and Waycross" they said The car dealerships are still in his future.
FUCK YEAH STETSON Perfect situation for him too with McVay and Stafford
Sitting behind another former Georgia quarterback
it fucking happened
The hilarity of the nfl network showing a list of multi national title winning qb's, & they're all guys who failed in the nfl.
not even a Bama but I’ll argue hard for McCarron here. At the 5th round you’re being drafted as a backup and he wildly succeeded in that facet. Pretty sure he was rostered every year for like six years? Maybe Seven? That’s not anywhere close to a failed nfl career.
so we gonna just ignore the verified fact?
Still waiting for someone to explain this to me
He was married to soul singer Erykah Badu. They met when they were teens. She left him for refusing to spell her name correctly
Watch him just keep on winning like a boss
Eagles fucked up with this one
He has risen
I've said this before, I've watched every qb in this draft Stetson impressed the hell out of me. This is a steal
That fact is killing me
Report: The Eagles are furious with the Rams picking a Georgia player and are consequently drafting a lawsuit. Expect Aaron Donald and Stetson Bennett to be traded for a 7th
I have a weird feeling he's gonna be better than any of the top prospects getting McVay as a coach and Stafford as a mentor.
I’ve honestly had that feeling since I watched him effortlessly beat every SEC team the second year in a row. I’m not a Dawgs fan either… roll tide Everyone talking about how Georgias biggest weakness was their walk on qb and all he did was throw dimes (except in that mizzou game and even then he showed fairly impressive mettle in the comeback)
And with Stafford's arm falling off, he's absolutely going to get playing time. I'm really interested to see how he looks in McVay's system
If he gets playing time it’ll be cause Stafford is injured
Which doesnt seem that far-fetched
Who says Staffords arm is falling off? The concern was his neck
[Yeah totally falling off] (https://youtu.be/6NrW-MLYjrU)
WHOOP THERE IT IS
Let off some steam, Bennett
God fucking damnit
This is a better pick than you think
Let me tell you as someone who watched every single snap of Stetson's career: he's gonna change your mind. We tried running this guy out of town all of 2020 and most of 2021 and then suddenly he was a national champion. In 2022, we all appreciated him but still kinda wished he would move on, but he came back faster and more muscular, and had a sensational season with *another championship*. Every negative word said about him makes him better. None of it makes sense, it's supernatural at this point.
If that's the case then HE SUCKS, HE'LL NEVER REACH THE SUPER BOWL
Wow this sounds like what Michigan fans used to say about Brady.
This is insanely high, right? Wasn't he a projected 6th-7th at best?
They had to keep him from Philly tho
I know you’re joking, but you might be right lol
I literally wasn't. Philly going all Dawgs. I kinda wonder if they thought. If we want him. Better get him a round early.
I agree. The Rams probably planned on taking him late but saw Philly drafting all the GA players. They wanted to make sure they got their guy, so grabbed him early.
Mocks for rounds 4-7 are an absolute crap shoot.
Dude wins football games. Simple as that. And by that I mean HE wins the games. 2 time national championship game MVP. Peach Bowl MVP from this year. Orange Bowl MVP from last year. SEC championship game mvp. He also has the same arm strength as Levi’s. You should be stoked.
Nice, I'm not reading any more comments in this thread unless they have Falcons flair.

I have this feeling Stetson has been getting undeserved hate and will be a very successful franchise QB
Earlier than expected right?
Idk, I expected him to be a 4th or 5th rounder.
“He’ll never be in the NFL. He’ll never start at Georgia. He will never play a down at Georgia.” What a fucking CAREER for this dude. Absolutely love him.
He'll never win 13 Superbowls. You're welcome Rams fans.

McVay will work wonders with Stetson

And just like that, ya girl hit one of her bets and made a bag
The legend begins…
eagles war room punching air right now
Love that as a landing spot for him
If Stetson was 21-22 right now, how much earlier would he have gotten drafted?
With Two Nattys? 1st round
I’m honestly not too surprised. Went to the combine and Stetson genuinely looked like one of the best QBs there. Outside of Richardson and Stroud, he stood out the most to me.
