INGLEWOOD, California – He's 5-foot-11. At least that's what the Georgia roster says of Stetson Bennett. So maybe he isn't even that tall. It also says he weighs 190, which helps with his speed and quickness, but is light by football standards.
Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett celebrates a win over TCU after the national championship NCAA College Football Playoff game, Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, in Inglewood, Calif. Georgia won 65-7. INGLEWOOD, California – He’s 5-foot-11. At least that’s what the Georgia roster says of Stetson Bennett. So maybe he isn’t even that tall. It also says he weighs 190, which helps with his speed and quickness, but is light by football standards.
He may not quite look the part of a NFL quarterback, but he didn’t look the part of an SEC quarterback either and he wound up dominating that league. ESPN research says since 2006, just three quarterbacks listed under six-foot and 200 pounds have even been drafted — Appalachian State’s Armanti Edwards , Michigan’s Denard Robinson and Navy’s Malcolm Perry . There is also Kent State’s Julian Edelman .Bennett is fast. He’ll likely clock a 4.5 40 at the NFL combine, so maybe he could transition as well. Or maybe he stays at his position.
“The fact he plays in an NFL offense for a NFL coordinator coach NFL quarterbacks should tell people he’s not going to get marbles in his mouth spitting out seven-word calls,” Smart said. “A lot of NFL teams like that.” Bennett figures he’s an open book at this point. Some teams aren’t going to like him, some might, but it’s all there to be seen.As for what he’d tell the NFL, he mostly shrugged.
“I know he gets a lot of doubters but seeing him day to day, I believe he can be a NFL quarterback,” Ringo said. “Yes, sir.”
