The Los Angeles Rams entered the 2023 NFL draft with only one quarterback on their current roster, so it was assumed that they would select another at some point. And in a surprising move, the Rams used the 128th overall pick in this year’s draft on Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett.
Bennett helped the Bulldogs win the National Championship in back-to-back years, but he’ll turn 26 years old during his rookie season. The incoming rookie signal-caller figures to be the immediate backup to Matthew Stafford, who everyone has pointed out also attended Georgia.
With the Rams surprising many by taking Bennett, fans and analysts alike shared their mixed reactions to the selection.
