Stetson Bennett wants to play in the NFL, but he is not off to a good start.
Bennett, the Georgia quarterback who led the Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships and became one of the best stories in college football, was arrested on Sunday morning. Officers responded to a call about a man “banging on doors” and authorities determined Bennett was intoxicated.
The 25-year-old was taken to City Detention Center.
Hours later, footage would show him being released as he walked out with a hoodie over his head and quickly running into a vehicle and being driven away.
He wrapped up his collegiate career with two national titles. He also had 8,428 passing yards and 66 touchdown passes in his collegiate career.
His performance in the 2022 season appeared to increase his draft stock going into April. It’s unclear whether the reported arrest would have an effect on that moving forward.
