Football World Reacts to Stetson Bennett’s NFL Draft Landing Spot

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett is officially entering the NFL, as the two-time NCAA champion is headed to the Rams after being taken in the fourth round. Bennett will backup another former Bulldog in Matthew Stafford, as the two are currently the only quarterbacks on the Rams roster.

Entering day three, Bennett was arguably the biggest name remaining, and he was certainly the most successful signal-caller, so the NFL world was waiting to see where he would go. After Los Angeles made the selection, fans and analysts alike chimed in on what they thought about the fit between Bennett and the Rams.

Of course, Bennett is an older prospect at 25 years-old, since he was a walk-on at Georgia at the start of a long and winding college career. So social media had some fun with the idea that Bennett is entering the NFL seeming like a veteran already.

Bennett’s final collegiate game came at SoFi Stadium, as Georgia trounced TCU in the national championship, and now Bennett will get to play his pro games there.
