Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Provides Latest Information on Stetson Bennett, Former Georgia Quarterback, Regarding Team Status.
A significant narrative in college football unfolded in Athens, GA, over a span of three years, culminating in two national championships for the University of Georgia Bulldogs. Stetson Bennett’s career soared during those victorious seasons, leading to his selection as a fourth-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Rams.
Following an impressive preseason with the Rams, the former Georgia quarterback’s tenure with the team abruptly concluded under unclear circumstances. With the Rams’ season now concluded, Head Coach Sean McVay addressed Bennett’s potential return during a press conference last Wednesday.
McVay responded, “You know, I don’t know that. I think that’s a conversation for another time. I think he’s doing better, but I wouldn’t be in a position to answer that accurately right now,” regarding Bennett’s status for the 2024 season.
Despite the former Burlsworth Trophy recipient’s departure from the Rams, he has maintained a low profile, making occasional appearances at the University of Georgia to support his alma mater. Bennett was initially poised for the backup role behind fellow UGA alumnus Matthew Stafford.
In Bennett’s absence, Brett Rypien assumed the backup position for Los Angeles before being released, eventually replaced by Carson Wentz to support Stafford, who, despite a history of injuries, had a healthy and successful season, guiding the Rams to an unexpected playoff berth.
Bennett’s presence with the Rams in 2024 will significantly influence the team’s approach to their quarterback roster for the upcoming season, especially with the possibility of Stafford considering retirement in the near future.
