Stetson Bennett   QB   Georgia

STRENGTHS

Stetson is a Doug Flutie clone just waiting to take on the NFL. He plays the QB position with the moxie, instincts, and athletic talent that a bigger QB will never have. Stetson is a football player, a coach on the field with a competitive streak matched only by the top players in the NFL.  He has, excellent arm strength and good velocity to make all the throws for the next level.  In the red zone, his athletic talent is a big plus.  When he runs the ball, he has Christian McCaffery-type explosiveness. If you’re looking for a comparable type of player in this day and age the closest might be Russel Wilson but the truth is I think he will be better no matter what position he ends up playing.

CONCERNS

I guess Stetson will be overlooked because of his lack of height because teams will be shopping for bigger quarterbacks and bigger position players…Big Mistake, Big, Hugh.   

BOTTOM LINE: 1.92

What round will Stetson be selected in…I don’t know! All I can tell you is, it will depend on his interviews and if he works out at other positions.  If he just wants to play quarterback then it’s fair to suggest that he might fall through the cracks. If he is willing to work out and shows his athletic talent then I suspect some team will take him later in the draft. That does change my talent rating for him to impact once he gets on the field. Size matters when it comes to selecting players in the draft. Size doesn’t matter once a player gets on the field, only production.  If Stetson is in the 6’2’ range he would be considered one of the top quarterbacks in this draft. Because of his size, he will be downgraded. That being said, once he works out and shows that he can run a 4.50 in the forty with quickness and explosiveness…most teams are going to think he can play and be more impacting at another position. The fact is that no matter what size you are, injuries will be an issue in football.  Stetson can run an offense as well as any quarterback coming out in this draft.  He can be a weapon running the ball in the spread offense because he can be a threat running the ball. Because of his unique athleticism, he can play more than one position so why would you not want to add that talent to your team? It will be interesting if Stetson is thought of in the top 100 of this draft and that’s why we have the two-board system so you can see talent, in the later rounds of a draft. I think he will be a hell of a player in this draft very much like Doug Flutie was because unlike when Doug game out, teams are running the style of offense that Stetson can impact in.
