Rams GM Provides A Positive Update on Stetson Bennett

The Los Angeles Rams are looking to build off a solid 2023 season. Last season, they went 10-7, notching the No. 6 seed before falling to the Detroit Lions in the Wild Card Round.

The biggest loss was Aaron Donald, who surprisingly retired in March. They decided to run it back with the majority of the same team but made a few additions to the roster in free agency and the NFL Draft.

OTAs for the Rams kicked off on May 20 and GM Les Snead gave a positive update on second-year QB Stetson Bennett.

Rams News: Les Snead Thinks Stetson Bennett Being Away From The Team in 2023 Was Good For Him

This offseason, Stetson Bennett has been a full participant in offseason activities. That's a step in the right direction after last season, where he spent most of the season on the non-football illness list. The team never went into details about what happened with Bennett but general manager Les Snead believed the year away helped him in the long run.

Snead said, "I know this: Last year was very beneficial for him. I think he took advantage of that year away from the game."

He also added that Bennett was exhausted after a long college career and back-to-back National titles with the Georgia Bulldogs.

"You know what, he’s an exhausted human being based on everything he had done to walk on, to go to JUCO, to come back, to turn down small schools, say ‘I’m going to try to do this Georgia thing.’ To win a job, then to win the thing, and then to determine, ‘I’m going to come back.’ And when you come back, it’s really win it again or you failed. And that does take a toll on a human being, so I was jacked for Stetson to be able to take that moment and breathe a little bit."

Los Angeles selected Bennett in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft with the hope that he could develop into nice backup QB.

Although that didn't happen in 2023, the Rams are confident that Bennett could the QB2 in 2024.
