Former Georgia Bulldogs two-time nationwide champion quarterback Stetson Bennett enters the 2026 NFL season on the Los Angeles Rams‘ roster bubble, in response to Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire.
Bennett is coming into his fourth season in the NFL, however has not seen any common season motion. Bennett was the Rams’ backup quarterback behind Jimmy Garoppolo in Week 18 final season, however outdoors of that he served as the Los Angeles No. 3 quarterback behind Garoppolo and Matthew Stafford.

Bennett enters the 2026 season more likely to have the same function. The Rams return Stafford and controversially spent a first-round choose on Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson. As a first-round choose, Simpson is a lock to make the Rams’ roster. The query is will he beat out Bennett to earn the backup function? If that is the case, then Bennett’s roster spot will likely be in jeopardy.
Garoppolo is out of the equation, so Bennett might keep the No. 3 function. Still, DaSilva places Bennett on the roster bubble coming into camp. Ideally for Bennett, he can have a robust coaching camp, preseason and win the backup function.
“If Bennett continues to develop the way he did last season, he’ll make the team,” DaSilva wrote. “He’ll be too valuable to cut and would likely be scooped up by one of the other 31 teams off waivers. But if he can’t beat out Simpson in camp and the preseason, he’ll be expendable.”
Bennett, 28, doesn’t have as a lot upside as Simpson, however he has helpful expertise in the Rams’ system. Bennett must make progress up the depth chart if he’ll seem in an everyday season recreation throughout his NFL profession.
