If you want to understand Stetson Bennett's career, look no further than his final pass between the hedges at Sanford Stadium in the fourth quarter of Georgia's rivalry game against Georgia Tech last Saturday. Buried deep in his own territory, Bennett takes the snap, drops back into the pocket — way back, within a step of his own goal line — and then surveys the field.
. Even his own coach, Kirby Smart, has called him"one of the least respected good players there is in this country."
Along the way, Georgia has pounded opponents into paste, or at the very least, into submission. The Dawgs haven’t lost a regular-season SEC game since a 44-28 loss to Florida in November 2020, and haven’t lost to anyone since falling to Alabama 362 days ago in the SEC championship. The Dawgs, as you may have heard, got their revenge on the Tide in the National Championship game, Georgia’s first national championship in 41 years.
Bennett has been around the Georgia program in some form or fashion since the fall of 2017. How long has that been? Long enough that Bennett had transferred out of Georgia for a year because the team recruited a high schooler by the name of Justin Fields — a guy who’s now quarterbacking the Chicago Bears.
“He's a guy that has mastered the position,” Kelly said. “He's just smart, careful with the football. The confidence level that he brings brings up the level of confidence around him and all the playmakers that he has.” He’s also used NIL endorsements to grant himself a new nickname of sorts. Thanks to the Georgia Dairy Council, the Mailman became the Milkman:It’s anyone’s guess how Bennett will fare against LSU on Saturday; the Tigers harassed Alabama’s Bryce Young into his least productive game of his year, then let Texas A&M’s Connor Weigman pick them apart last week.
