Report: Stetson Bennett turns down opportunity to compete at Senior Bowl
All Stetson Bennett ever wanted at Georgia was a chance to compete, but approach to getting drafted into the NFL might be different.
Comments
Bennett making his decision to play in the Senior Bowl based on what Mel Kiper says? Are you kidding me? The only people who consider Mel Kiper an expert draft analyst are the morons at ESPN and people in the press who are more clueless than Kiper.
The Senior Bowl is the only post season bowl that every team sends personnel to. From the outside looking in, I thought that would be a great opportunity for Stetson and any other player that's not a sure first rounder.
Great decision, Stet! Too risky!!
I guess he feels if he has a bad week, it could hurt his chances? Lord, I hope he did not listen to Kiper as ShootheHooch mentioned.
The guy played in more high profile games than any other college QB in history. There is nothing to be gained by going to the senior bowl. Any questions teams have will be addressed at the combine.
I agree and doubt seriously Bennett has been practicing at a high level since the championship game. He’s likely taking a much deserved break both mentally and physically. The Senior Bowl games are usually sloppy and I don’t think show the NFL scouts much that they can’t see on tape. In Bennett’s case they have many hours of tape of him playing in huge pressure packed games. I think he had more to lose than gain by playing in a game with totally new teammates and with only several days of practice and preparation. Go Dawgs!!!
Just roll my tape.
MG keeps up the spin.
Think an agent might have advised Stetson to skip? An agent who is experienced and likely knows a little more about whats best for Stet in this situation?
Stet didnt want to compete with Jake and Justin? I think not. I think he just wanted playtime to prove to himself and others that he could compete at the next level and coaches likely advised him that playtime was unlikely with Fields and Fromm that year. It worked out good for him I'd say. Stet definitely not one to back away from competition.
Typical MG. Why not wait for SB to announce before speculating? But I guess I have given him exactly what he was after. Another CLICK.

Why isn't Kiper an expert draft analyst? Do you spend thousands of hours every year studying film and taking to scouts? I'm going to go ahead and say no. But because you watch every Dawgs game you somehow know who's an expert or who's not. Dude has a dream job and it sounds like y'all are jealous haters. He's just giving a more informed opinion than anybody on this site will ever have. The vitriol toward the guy is pathetic
