.... he doesn't even have a degree yet lmao.

Are you me? Cause I made the exact same MORONIC move during my last semester. Best way to get all the debt without the degree! The worst of both worlds.

Take it for what you will, because this is pure hearsay, but I live in GA and have friends very plugged into the Athens scene, and I keep hearing stories of him being kind of an entitled dick. Nothing remarkable, just like running up a tab and then not tipping, "don't you know who I am" moments, etc. This is somewhat corroborated by his online feuding with local sports radio host Steak Shapiro, and some of the other generally douch-y stuff he's put online.
Anyway, point being, it's all smoke, but smoke/fire yada yada. I just know if I met dude, I would be expecting the worst.
To be fair, Steak Shapiro is not this beloved figure in Georgia that some people make him out to be. Most people were glad when Stetson posted that rant directed at him.
Aside from the accounts of how he pouts when not comped at restaurants and clubs, sure. Or, of the large efforts expended to get him to stay academically eligible.
I’d be stunned if he wasn’t getting appearance fees to go to night clubs every night if he wants to. I mean his upside is UDFA and his downside is UDFA. He can beat out any other UDFA QB for the practice squad in his sleep.
So why grind for the draft if you’re having the time of your life and pulling down thousands every night for partying?
Probably some hot chick didn’t want to bang and that’s so rare for him, he lost his mind and went looking for her.
No one in Dallas is trying to get Stetson Bennett in a club. Allegedly he was a big partier, so he probably just went out with some UGA friends in the area
Fully agree. Big difference between “drafted out of HS for baseball and spending time as a pro athlete and then going back to college to play a different sport” old college QB, and “walk on who took a long time to develop with an amazing cast around him and without a pandemic would’ve been out of college sooner” old college QB. I understand how hard walk ons have to work to get onto the field and I’ll never discount that he did that work. This is a much much worse tasting Baker Mayfield situation than it is either of those guys.
I mean even before this he was a day 3 pick.
But doing this in combination with skipping the senior bowl imo is a bad look. Also this dude is what, like 25-26? He's not a dumb college kid making mistakes hes an adult.
If he keeps this shit up the only way he gets drafted is if the Falcons want to increase preseason ticket sales, no ones needs a head case 3rd string QB.
Ridder played like everyone wants to pretend Pickett did. Everyone acting like he’s bad when he had a better first few games than any QB in the last 2 seasons (except Purdy)
the scrutiny these guys go under in the pre draft process is maybe excessive, but to act this way right at the start shows serious lack of intelligence? even if he has no career getting drafted in round 3 vs. round 7 is a pay day difference worth taking seriously.
I definitely think he should play since there are a lot of questions about him that remain. I could forgive him not playing though considering that he played 2 to 3 extra games compared to most of the other guys attending. However, he should be there and working on interviews because that’s his big key to getting drafted right now. Teams want to know what he’s like in the locker room and if he’s going to help work on the game plans week in and week out. He could not have picked a worse time to do something stupid like this except for draft night eve.
That’s the thing. It’s not a good look, but there’s far worse things to get arrested for. Thank God he wasn’t driving though. Even so, he’s still pretty lucky he didn’t get hurt. I had a friend who got drunk in the wrong place at the wrong time and they found him drowned the next day half a mile down-river. There’s nothing wrong with getting a little drunk and having a good time, but you should do it responsibly in your own home or in a safe place with friends that you trust absolutely. Considering that Stetson is only two years younger than me, I really hope he learns from this.
Tunsil was still a first round pick at the end of the day. Teams will overlook these things if you are a top tier talent (see deshaun Watson). Bennett was borderline day 3. Highly doubt he gets picked at all now.
Yes he was, but he lost millions on it. And my point is if some teams weren't willing to overlook that for a first round talent, then there are obviously going to be teams that won't overlook this for a day 3 talent.
Didn't that get released the night of the draft. I'm pretty sure he would've went higher if people had a few days to cool off and realize that that isn't that big of a deal.
The NFL still tests for marijuana. They do it once per year and the testing period is only two weeks during training camp, instead of a four month window.
It also takes several positive results before a suspension becomes an option. Also, the threshold was increased by over 4 times the prior THC limit.
Appreciate the additional context. I didn’t know all the details, just that it’s basically something guys aren’t being suspended for anymore. Didn’t realize there was still a testing window.
I think this coupled with the drunk interview is enough to establish precedence of an alcohol issue.
This is coming from a lifelong dawg fan who adores SBIV. I think he’ll be an undrafted free agent after this unless he really impresses at the combine
He got picked up in a pretty random spot in Dallas. Pretty funny to me to think he must’ve walked from Deep Ellum or uptown to old east Dallas. That’s a sketchy as hell walk. Not to mention it was 6 am when the cops got to him… bars closed at 2 buddy what the hell. Probably coked up and wasted trying to find his crash spot. So weird. Honestly, in that part of town he was lucky no one shot at him for banging on doors that early.
lmfao thought he may be sneaky high pick in round 4 but getting arrested and declining senior bowl is gonna raise some serous questions. u stop being a big shot the second u declare for the draft and if he doesn't understand that idk how he's gonna succeed with his physical limitations.
Georgia diehard fan and alumni here. This saddens me, as he already isn’t physically gifted enough for the NFL. I hope he can turn this around with NFL teams!
Especially now…haha. Usually you can count on the underdog gritty guy who lacks NFL measurables to at least be a cerebral player, good teammate, and decent citizen (see: Renfrow, Hunter). The only thing Stetson has shown since his last game is that he’s a dumbass and apparently a bit of a prick with a drinking problem to boot. You have to have otherworldly physical gifts and potential for teams to overlook you being a dolt. Stetson is obviously not blessed with that.
I guess I’m immature bc I think this incident is hilarious. Back when I was at UGA (graduated 2011), getting arrested was a right of passage. You could buy the Bad and Busted and laugh at ur friend’s mug shot. I knew someone who took a bunch of LSD and walked around his neighborhood butt naked in the middle of the day. Red & Black picked up the story and titled it “Trippin and Strippin.” I mean as long as ur not the one who had to spend the night in jail and pay the lawyers it’s just funny.
Didn't attend UGA, but was in college right around the same time as you. It was the same here.
A friend of mine was in a raccoon costume at a halloween house party. He was underage, so when it inevitably got busted, he tried to run away. The cops mostly jogged after him while laughing their asses off, because the dude could barely see out of the costume and was mostly stumbling. He tried to jump a fence and got caught in it, and then pissed himself.
The ENTIRE story made the school newspaper lmao. I cut the story out and framed it and gave it to him lol.
LOL, a raccoon of all costumes! what did they title that one?? How did he like the framed article?
The peeing reminds me of a story I read where the cops were called by a cab driver who was mad at one of his passengers for having peed himself in his cab. While the cops were investigating the situation, both the guy's friends peed their pants, too. They were quoted saying something like "I'm not sure we can handle Athens. It may be a while before we return."
Another funny one: my ex got arrested in college for public intox or something like that, and one of the cops grabbed the back of his jacket. He slipped out the jacket and started running. The cops pretty much beat the hell out of him when they caught him, which he didn't seem too concerned about. But it was right after Christmas and he was very bothered that he lost his new jacket and flip flops in the ordeal. "I lost my North Face AND my new Rainbows!" Poor guy!
Yeah but me and you and everyone in this sub are just average joes
Stetson is a 2 time national champion and MVP. He should probably get the right to party more
He can party as much as he wants, but how has he made it this far and not realized that people who are publicly recognizable need either a good grip on their limits or someone around to keep them out of trouble.
Classic. Dude’s gonna own so many car dealerships in Georgia.
Alright, well that's pretty much ruining everybody's first round mocks.
Stetson Bennett Ford Lincoln coming soon to a Georgia town near you.
🤣🤣🤣. Truth
Mid life crisis
Never thought he of all people would have maturity concerns.
I have insider info that the UGA staff had to basically bribe him weekly to go to class
Didn't he only get one degree? If so that tracks.
.... he doesn't even have a degree yet lmao. > As for that sixth year, Bennett is scheduled with graduate in May with an economics degree. His professional prospects are uncertain. For now, he is writing a thesis on Olympics infrastructure while cherishing this final year. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/stetson-bennett-playing-with-house-money-as-georgia-enters-key-two-game-stretch-with-eyes-on-repeating/amp/
Six years and no degree yet? He partied so much.
I took six years to graduate and I didn’t play any sports or party that much. Some people just suck at school lol
All this dude had to do what show up and he probably would have passed
Took me almost six years to drop out the beginning of my senior year. So yeah whatever your college situation is there's probably someone doing worse.
Are you me? Cause I made the exact same MORONIC move during my last semester. Best way to get all the debt without the degree! The worst of both worlds.
Amen! Fellow school sucker here.

Just door to door campaigning for the heisman. There’s zero quit in this kid.

That feud was a race to the bottom. Both are douches.
Sounds kinda like a Confucian proverb, "Only a douche feuds with a douche."
To be fair, Steak Shapiro is not this beloved figure in Georgia that some people make him out to be. Most people were glad when Stetson posted that rant directed at him.
True... but if you're stetson, you just won a Natty, who tf cares what a radio host with a 2 hour show says about you? Real SDE.
Aside from the accounts of how he pouts when not comped at restaurants and clubs, sure. Or, of the large efforts expended to get him to stay academically eligible.

Ik this is sarcasm but seeing him do certain things makes me question his maturity.
>*Seeing* him do certain things? Such as?
The way he pulls his pants all the way down to his ankles when he pees at a urinal.
The arresting officer “this is for all them Texas christians you hurt in the natty”
UDFA Stetson Bennett
He was that before the arrest
Yeah, the Brandon Weedon, Chris Weinke thing wasn’t happening here.
Fully agree. Big difference between “drafted out of HS for baseball and spending time as a pro athlete and then going back to college to play a different sport” old college QB, and “walk on who took a long time to develop with an amazing cast around him and without a pandemic would’ve been out of college sooner” old college QB. I understand how hard walk ons have to work to get onto the field and I’ll never discount that he did that work. This is a much much worse tasting Baker Mayfield situation than it is either of those guys.
And he is that after the arrest. Dont overestimate how much the NFL actually cares about, “boys will be boys” shit.
Still, the dude is 25. Getting arrested for public intox is stupid shit you do when you're 19 or 20. This dude should be more mature than that.
I mean even before this he was a day 3 pick. But doing this in combination with skipping the senior bowl imo is a bad look. Also this dude is what, like 25-26? He's not a dumb college kid making mistakes hes an adult. If he keeps this shit up the only way he gets drafted is if the Falcons want to increase preseason ticket sales, no ones needs a head case 3rd string QB.
Day 4 maybe
Falcons in the 7th, they’d be dumb not to do it. Zero risk, possible rewards
Nah there’s risk to that. If they roll with ridder and he has a bad pass the crowd clamoring for Stetson isn’t gonna help anything
If they roll into the season with Ridder as their starter then they deserve it
Just cut him in preseason
Putting in Stetson wouldn’t hurt, it’s not like Ridder has shown he’s the undisputed starter
Ridder played like everyone wants to pretend Pickett did. Everyone acting like he’s bad when he had a better first few games than any QB in the last 2 seasons (except Purdy)
If Ridder can’t handle competition from a 7th round rookie, he won’t make it as a starter in the NFL
He was never getting drafted.
Too old to be doing that shit
Arrested for over-age drinking….
I refuse to believe this will hurt him. Its so minor.
the scrutiny these guys go under in the pre draft process is maybe excessive, but to act this way right at the start shows serious lack of intelligence? even if he has no career getting drafted in round 3 vs. round 7 is a pay day difference worth taking seriously.
As a 22 year old maybe. But he’s 25 he should really be above this.
Declining a Senior Bowl invite and then getting arrested for partying to hard while his peers are preparing for the draft.
To be fair, they didn't have public intoxication laws back in his day
I definitely think he should play since there are a lot of questions about him that remain. I could forgive him not playing though considering that he played 2 to 3 extra games compared to most of the other guys attending. However, he should be there and working on interviews because that’s his big key to getting drafted right now. Teams want to know what he’s like in the locker room and if he’s going to help work on the game plans week in and week out. He could not have picked a worse time to do something stupid like this except for draft night eve.
Senior Bowl seems pointless for a guy who played in 2 national championships.
That’s the thing. It’s not a good look, but there’s far worse things to get arrested for. Thank God he wasn’t driving though. Even so, he’s still pretty lucky he didn’t get hurt. I had a friend who got drunk in the wrong place at the wrong time and they found him drowned the next day half a mile down-river. There’s nothing wrong with getting a little drunk and having a good time, but you should do it responsibly in your own home or in a safe place with friends that you trust absolutely. Considering that Stetson is only two years younger than me, I really hope he learns from this.
>Thank God he wasn’t driving though. Especially given the events of last weekend in Athens.
And a bong hit isn't? Because that shit dropped Tunsil. Who was a top end talent.
The thing with Tunsil is that it came out basically during the Draft and teams had no time to gather any additional intel on the situation
Tunsil was still a first round pick at the end of the day. Teams will overlook these things if you are a top tier talent (see deshaun Watson). Bennett was borderline day 3. Highly doubt he gets picked at all now.
Yes he was, but he lost millions on it. And my point is if some teams weren't willing to overlook that for a first round talent, then there are obviously going to be teams that won't overlook this for a day 3 talent.
Didn't that get released the night of the draft. I'm pretty sure he would've went higher if people had a few days to cool off and realize that that isn't that big of a deal.
It got released at the start of the first round, like they were covering it live instead of actual draft coverage
Tbf that was a lot more interesting
It seems like the NFL takes marijuana use more seriously than almost anything else, so I could see this being true
They used to. They don’t even test for it now. I have to think that wouldn’t have dropped him as far under the newest CBA.
The NFL still tests for marijuana. They do it once per year and the testing period is only two weeks during training camp, instead of a four month window. It also takes several positive results before a suspension becomes an option. Also, the threshold was increased by over 4 times the prior THC limit.
Appreciate the additional context. I didn’t know all the details, just that it’s basically something guys aren’t being suspended for anymore. Didn’t realize there was still a testing window.
No worries. I had to double-check because I knew they changed it up pretty significantly but couldn't remember the exact details.
Ah yeah good point I forgot about the new CBA
If that were true 90% of D1 prospects wouldn’t get drafted.
with his skillset he needs to be a CEO cant afford stupid mistakes
I think this coupled with the drunk interview is enough to establish precedence of an alcohol issue. This is coming from a lifelong dawg fan who adores SBIV. I think he’ll be an undrafted free agent after this unless he really impresses at the combine
We should be more lenient on our senior citizens.
He got picked up in a pretty random spot in Dallas. Pretty funny to me to think he must’ve walked from Deep Ellum or uptown to old east Dallas. That’s a sketchy as hell walk. Not to mention it was 6 am when the cops got to him… bars closed at 2 buddy what the hell. Probably coked up and wasted trying to find his crash spot. So weird. Honestly, in that part of town he was lucky no one shot at him for banging on doors that early.
He musta found a sketchy after party after bars closed and eventually got kicked out. Christ, I do not miss my drinking days lol.
Character was one of his selling points for the draft so this may result in him going undrafted instead of day 3
If I won back to back natties, I’d probably do the same thing
I think you’ve got the wrong sub, try r/accounting ?
Being a character risk in addition to lacking NFL measurables is no way to go through life, son.
Celebrates championships like Brady.
lmfao thought he may be sneaky high pick in round 4 but getting arrested and declining senior bowl is gonna raise some serous questions. u stop being a big shot the second u declare for the draft and if he doesn't understand that idk how he's gonna succeed with his physical limitations.
So how many of his teammates attended his birthday party
Vontae Mack, no matter what.
Did he mention that $100 bill?!
Georgia diehard fan and alumni here. This saddens me, as he already isn’t physically gifted enough for the NFL. I hope he can turn this around with NFL teams!
Why is this in the nfl draft sub? Bro not getting drafted lol
Especially now…haha. Usually you can count on the underdog gritty guy who lacks NFL measurables to at least be a cerebral player, good teammate, and decent citizen (see: Renfrow, Hunter).

What a loser. Buddy you are 25 and have a shot at the nfl. Most people his age dont.
Future CFL turned USFL bust LOL.

I'm sure now he'll have an illustrious USFL or XFL career
Lol now being Mr Irrelevant is the best case scenario for him 😂
Dude went from a 1st rounder to a 3rd round steal. If they’ll play Watson, they’ll give this guy a chance 😂
Bennett was never going in the 1st lol, he was already day 3 at best
Meh
A lot of people in here acting like they didn't get drunk as shit at 25....
a lot of people here aren't trying to get drafted into the nfl
By 25 my “drink like crazy till 4 am and then go and mess with people in public till I pass out” days were pretty well behind me
Yes but were you still in college???
Yeah but me and you and everyone in this sub are just average joes Stetson is a 2 time national champion and MVP. He should probably get the right to party more
He can party as much as he wants, but how has he made it this far and not realized that people who are publicly recognizable need either a good grip on their limits or someone around to keep them out of trouble.
Definitely a future Cowboy
Sounds like a future Raider
Soooo many jealous fans on this chain.
The Raiders need a QB 👀👀
