Stetson Bennett's performance in January was a major boost to his draft stock, but he had to explain something else from that month during an appearance at the NFL scouting combine.
"It was, you know, a mistake that everybody's aware of. I understand why that can't happen, I've talked to coaches about it, talked to GMs, apologized to my family. That's who I felt worst about, felt like I let them down because no matter where I go now and even without all this, I've got an obligation, I'm the fourth, can't do that if your last name is Bennett. I know better.
Bennett, who is 25 years old, was arrested after police officers responded to a report of a man loudly banging on doors in the area of Old East Dallas. When officers arrived at 3 a.m. local time, they found Bennett and determined him to be intoxicated.revealed Bennett allegedly hid behind a brick wall, supposedly to hide from the police, and was placed in handcuffs after complying with the officers' request to come out.
and a bizarre speech about how the Bulldogs, the defending champions who began the season ranked No. 3 in the country, were expected to fail. Bennett's arrest came after the end of a college career that saw him win back-to-back national championships as the Bulldogs' starting quarterback, finishing his senior season with a program-record 4,127 passing yards in 15 games, plus a 68.3 completion percentage, 27 passing touchdowns, seven interceptions and 10 touchdowns on the ground.
