Stetson Bennett is making sure to remind everybody knows why he won back-to-back national Championships with the Georgia Bulldogs.
Fans are going crazy on social media after the Los Angeles Rams quarterback launched two perfect passes deep that connected with Sam James and Van Jefferson. If you didn’t notice, head coach Sean Payton was in coverage on Jefferson in the second clip as he showed off his wheels against the Rams’ No. 2 receiver.
Bennett seemed to put both throws in the perfect spot, even if it was against air with no real defender in coverage.
The Rams are expecting the former Bulldogs player to be their No. 2 quarterback behind Matthew Stafford, so he’ll be one injury away from being the team’s starting quarterback.
Stafford suffered injuries during the 2022 season and it saw quarterbacks behind him to receive playing time. He is getting older so injuries will once again be a problem.
Baker Mayfield played well for them last year in relief. If Bennett can come in and play at a relatively high level, he can keep the team afloat until Stafford returns.
