Stetson Bennett is dropping dimes at the NFL Combine
The 2023 NFL Combine has been pretty good to the Georgia Bulldogs and Stetson Bennett is no exception. In the throwing portion of the quarterback workout on Saturday, Bennett put on a bit of a show.
NFL Network Draft Analyst Daniel Jeremiah was quite impressed as Bennett uncorked a couple of highly accurate go routes that hit his receiver in stride. The fans in attendance were loving it and Jeremiah likened it to watching golfers sink long puts with fans reacting.
Jeremiah wasnāt the only draft analyst who came away impressed with Bennettās throwing session. ESPNās Matt Miller took to twitter to say how much he liked what he saw.
āStetson Bennett has really thrown the ball well today,ā Miller tweeted.
Bennett gets it started with a strong 40ā¦
Georgia quarterbackĀ Stetson BennettĀ is a little bigger than most expected him to be according to his official measurements at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. He also ran a rock-solid 40-time that will only help him raise his draft stock.
The two-time National Championship triggerman posted a time of 4.67 seconds on his first run. That time is unofficial, as is his second try of 4.74.
Bennett measured in at 5-foot-11 on the dot and 192 pounds on Saturday. His hand size was measured at 10 inches.

Used to the big-game atmosphereā¦
The former walk-on appeared in six post-season games as a Bulldog ā two SEC Championship games, two College Football Playoff Semifinal games, and two National Championships. He won MVP in five of those six contests.
Heās no stranger to the bright lights and thatās another feather in his cap.
āA thousand percent. I think once youāre in that situation, you know what the situation is. You understand everything that comes with it, you can handle it, you know how to prepare,āĀ Bennett told reporters on Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, site of his first national title. āI think it definitely ā for me, it was always the unknown. What does this championship, oooo ahhh, look like? Itās a game, and youāve got to play well in it. All the lights in the world donāt matter if you donāt win. So just go win.ā
Bennett answers to off-field incidentā¦
It wasnāt long ago that Bennett found himself in a situation that could only hurt his draft stock. After turning down a chance to play in more than one senior showcase game, Bennett was arrested in Dallas, Tex. for public intoxication.
He spoke for the first time about that on Friday.
āYeah, it was a mistake that, you know, everybody is aware of,ā Bennett said. āI understand why that canāt happen. It wasā¦ Iāve talked to coaches, talked to GMs, apologized to my family. Thatās who I felt worse about. I felt like I let them down because no matter where I go nowā¦ even without all this, Iāve got an obligation. Iām the fourth, canāt do that if youāre last name is Bennett and I know better.ā
