The NFL Draft is set to begin on April 27, with it taking three days to complete.
Many players will hear their names called on those days.
But, one player facing many differing opinions is Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett.
He is coming off back-to-back National Championship wins, but many scouts do not see his play transferring to the NFL.
Bennett is expected to be a day-three pick at best, and some people believe he could go undrafted.
According to Dov Kleiman, one NFL executive said Bennett “might go undrafted.”
Update: “Many” NFL executives have non-football concerns about Georgia QB Stenson Bennett, per @JFowlerESPN
One NFC exe said: “He might go undrafted.”

You would think that some team would take a chance on a multiple-time national champion but no one wants off-field issues.
Bennett being arrested for public intoxication is not a good look, and you can bet some teams are questioning his maturity.
He is not expected to be a star quarterback in the NFL, but there is a chance Bennett could be a solid backup.
I still have “football” concerns, tbh

These next few weeks will be huge for Bennett.
Any visits he takes with NFL teams he will have to ace.
It is hard to believe someone would not take a chance on him during the final few rounds.
Bennett is a good athlete but questions about his size and arm strength remain.
Plus he will be 26 years old in October.
He’ll be 26 in October if they have non football concerns about him, he ain’t getting drafted

The loaded teams at Georgia made it seem like he was just a game manager.
With all that being said, any team that needs a backup quarterback should at least look into Bennett.

His age is a concern, but Bennett has far too much big-game experience to not get a shot in the NFL.
