Stetson Bennett in the nfl?

17/26 … 224 yards … 2 touchdowns … 0 interceptions

While getting relentless pressure all night long, against THE #1 team in college football, and THE greatest coach of all-time (who had all year to prepare for you).

You can downplay the kid, pick his game apart, magnify what few mistakes he made, and completely ignore the 80% of the game he was really good … but I’m going to tip my hat to a kid who rose from a walk-on with zero chance of ever playing, to leading his home school to a national championship over the team and coach no one else in the country seems to be able to beat. You have to try really hard to talk negative about this kid right now.

I thought he was shaky at times, but he reached UGA GOAT status with that 4th quarter. Games are 60 minutes...and obviously I do not mean the GOAT literally people before anyone thinks I mean he is the best player ever there. I just mean clutch GOAT...that 4th quarter and those 2 drives were great drives.
 
How does he do in the NFL? Will he get drafted ? Gotta think he gets a look.

Maybe he's an undersized Drew Bree type qb. Gotta wonder how his size will equate in nfl???

Thoughts?
That’s what they said about mayfield and Bennett is a poor mans mayfield. Bennet sucks honestly. Their defense won games all year. Bennett doesn’t play a snap on nfl unless Atlanta takes him as ufa just to get some fans

If he's lucky, he could win some games for the Iowa Barnstormers.

66% completion percentage and 29 tosses for scores is better than any QB we've had in over a decade...

He took some pops last night that would have taken other dudes out of the game mentally at the very least even Young who looked like he kind of checked out after a couple good licks from the bulldaawwwgggs...

He's got some moxy, toughness, and seems to come up big in big games...

If I needed a practice arm and practice-squad guy who could maybe work his way to holding a clipboard on Sunday and it was between Stetson and some project with "raw talent" or "a big arm..and some intangibles"...most overused, overrated bullshit sports terms for "we don't know wtf we're talking about"...I'll go with the kid from UGA who got SEC reps and won a title
 
Whoever said Terry Wilson was better than Bennett is clueless. Bennett probably doesn’t play professionally due to his size. But he’s turned himself into a pretty damn good college QB.
 
Unfortunately size counts for an NFL QB. That position takes a pounding, and the risk of injury is great. Something like 6'3" and 225lb is average.

72" = 6 feet

I am sure he will come back and UGA will beat us again with him at QB and make it look fairly easy. Hope I am wrong.

I doubt thats your hope. Some folks just like to be naggative. If you're like a lot of people were before last summer, you didn't think we'd get close to 9 wins. Many were just afraid to be objective or even optimistic.
 
You have to give Bennett some props. He doesn't have a big arm but is accurate and can move the chains with his legs. He is the classic overachiever, but you have to be realistic, his numbers are primarily a function of UGA's overall talent. Their lights out defense never allowed him to feel any game pressure until the SECCG. We have some good players, but overall their offensive talent is better than ours.

At his size, you need to be an elite athlete to be able to have a chance at the next level. I don't see it. Look at it this way, if he was UK's QB this year, what would our record have been? I'd say 7-6/8-5.
