Quarterback Stetson Bennett’s journey to the NFL has been anything but linear. He went from Georgia walk-on to transferring to junior college, transferring back to Georgia and then helping lead the Bulldogs to consecutive College Football Playoff national championships in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Bennett, a 2022 Heisman Trophy finalist, did enough in his senior season at Georgia to be selected 128th overall, in the fourth round, of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Now, his professional football journey is on pause as the Rams placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday. That means he is not suiting up with the team for an undisclosed reason, not involving an injury on the field. Rams head coach Sean McVay refused to get into any specifics about Bennett’s situation at his press conference on Wednesday.
For McVay to say this is due to an issue “bigger than football” it must be pretty important.
Hearing rumors that he has a drinking problem on YouTube. But who knows if that’s true.
Some backstory…
Drunk on good morning America
Arrested on Public Intoxication charges
I don’t remember hearing about these incidents, but that would make sense if he had a drinking problem. If true, I hope he gets the help he needs.
