Georgia figures to be well represented in the 2023 NFL Draft. One of its draft-eligible prospects is quarterback Stetson Bennett.

He is a 5-foot-11, 192-pound quarterback from Blackshear, Ga.

Stetson Bennett set records at Georgia

Bennett’s senior season was one of the best by any Georgia quarterback. He threw for a program-record 4,127 yards while throwing for 27 touchdowns. He was also a threat with his legs, as he ran for 10 touchdowns as well.

Bennett was named a Heisman Finalist as a senior. The last Georgia player to receive said honor was running back Garrison Hearst back in 1992. Bennett also won the Burlsworth Trophy, which goes to the nation’s best player who began their career as a walk-on.

Bennett walked on at Georgia as a member of the 2017 team. He transferred after one season to the junior college ranks, only to transfer back to Georgia in 2019 on scholarship.

Stetson Bennett won back-to-back national championships

Prior to the 2021 season, Georgia’s last national championship came in 1980. All Bennett did in his last two years at Georgia was lead the Bulldogs to back-to-back titles.

He started 12 games for Georgia in 2021, throwing 29 touchdowns to seven interceptions. Georgia was led by its defense that season — the 2021 Georgia defense had seven first-rounders on it — but Bennett was at his best in big games against Michigan and in the national championship against Alabama.

In 2022, he followed it by leading Georgia to a 15-0 record. He outdueled Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud in the Peach Bowl before dropping the hammer on TCU in the national championship game. Stroud was taken with the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Bennett played all three first-round quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL Draft. He posted a combined 4-1 record against Stroud, Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson.

Stetson Bennett has experience with an NFL offensive coordinator

Bennett also already has experience working with an NFL offensive coordinator. During his last three seasons at Georgia, Bennett was coached by Todd Monken. He is now the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens.

Bennett also has experience as a backup, as he filled the role throughout his college career. In 2020, he came off the bench in the second quarter and led Georgia to a win over Arkansas.

“He’s uber-talented. He’s got great athleticism and the part people don’t give him enough credit for, he’s already played in the system,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “Todd Monken’s system, he’s been all over the NFL. He can walk in a huddle, he can anticipate throws, he’s seen all the defenses, he’s played in the right kind of system. I’m excited to see what he does. He’s got great touch on the ball, great velocity.”

Bennett is 25 years old and is on the smaller side for a quarterback. He was also arrested for public intoxication in January, something he has apologized and answered for in multiple media settings.

Still, he is expected to be taken in the later rounds of the 2023 NFL Draft.
