Stetson Bennett has a new world of doubters to disprove.

After winning a second consecutive national championship at Georgia, the 25-year-old quarterback is now facing questions about his NFL draft qualifications.

Bennett (5-11, 190) is seen as undersized and lacking elite arm strength —the same questions he faced when he walked on at Georgia in 2017. After leaving for junior college and returning to win back-to-back titles, including Monday night’s 65-7 rout of TCU, Bennett is being excluded from the list of top quarterback prospects in the April NFL draft.
