He needs to step it up.

Is Stetson Bennett a pro caliber QB?

I never seen him as such either but seeing this list acts like he could have opted out early. I don’t see him making it if he stayed in college for 5 years, but I do not see a lot of GA games so maybe I am missing something.!

Obviously not. I think the point is that they think he helps Georgia. Xavier feels left out. He needs to step it up if he wants to be noticed.

Yea not really sure how XT could be all that upset. Good but not great. I do feel he has it in the tank though just yet to be consistent.

i almost feel like if he dropped 10 lbs he'd be a protypical

NFL linebacker size. Whether he's agile enough to cover a WR is another thing.He's a little undersized at DE which is part of his problem. Vic Beasley was undersized too but was so quick he made up for it in maneuverability. Thomas has to rely on strength and bullrush ability which is really hard to do against 300lb tackles. Dee Ford is about his size or Carl Lawson and they did it well enough to be good pro's so maybe he'll get there. Would love to see him show out this year.

He can be an outside linebacker like Von Miller though that gets after the QB.

He's had a better overall career than Nolan Smith who was a number 1 recruit. Good return should be as noticable as some of these other guys.

I watched Minnesota’s first game and Ibrahim was great. I was excited to watch him the rest of the year. Shame he got hurt. Hopefully has a breakout season

Some of XT’s posts that I’ve seen are very complimentary of players from other teams. I think he is a huge fan of great college football. Maybe this is just his way of saying next year is going to be fun to watch. But I know y’all would rather create drama where there may not be any…

I like the sentiment. He needs a great year. I think a lot of people see him as an underachiever.

If he can combine relentless effort with discipline, everything else will take care of itself. He will wreck games.

I think that the news here is Stetson Bennett's obnoxious reply: "Same D line that lost 3 games? History!" The guy is a loudmouth fool, and is likely to end up on the ash heap of the NFL like Manziel and probably Mayfield.

Produces on the field next year, his NFL prospects will take care of themselves.
