The Los Angeles Rams have slightly lost their motor since taking home Super Bowl 56 in 2022, and this was expected, especially after losing the best overall player in the NFL, Aaron Donald, to retirement this offseason.

After one year of not winning the NFL’s ultimate prize, the Rams decided to select one of the most interesting prospects in the 2023 NFL, selecting 26-year-old Georgia signal-caller Stetson Bennett in the fourth round of the draft.

Unfortunately, Bennett was notably absent from the Rams squad throughout the season, and little was known about what the case may be until recently when Rams General Manager Les Snead revealed the reason for his absence.

Snead gave a reason to Alabama’s News19, stating that the quarterback was extremely burnt out after all the media attention, followed by his missing the team’s season opener after suffering a shoulder injury.

Stetson Bennett Set To Back Up Matthew Sto

Luckily, the second-year quarterback has made what we assume to be a full recovery and is now participating in the team’s OTAs. It looks like he may have the backup spot locked up.

Bennett’s last entire season of play at Georgia saw him finish with nearly 3000 passing yards on 287 pass attempts and 185 completions. He also saw the ball enter the endzone a remarkable 29 times in 2022.

Hopefully, as NFL teams get ready to see their players in action, Bennett may be able to see some on-field action after his year away from the game. Stetson Bennett should be well-rested for 2024, and if Matthew Stafford goes down, the Rams may just have a reliable option to turn to.

Will Levis Lost A Surprising Amount Of Money As A Result Of His Embarrassing Slip From The First Round Of The Draft

Will Levis will probably regret his slip from the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft for a very long time, having gotten picked 33rd overall by the Tennessee Titans.

For one, it was extremely embarrassing for him to have to sit through the event without hearing his name called – especially considering how he was hyped up during the weeks ahead, as well as touted to go top-five. That’s hardly all the damage Levis is going to have to suffer as the slip is set to affect his pockets too.

ProFootballTalk has highlighted some figures which show how much money Levis is going to lose simply as a result of his name spilling into the second round. And the amount is quite significant.

The publication points to 2022 contract values noting New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner got a $33.45 million contract as the fourth overall pick of last year’s draft while Christian Watson, who was made the second pick in the second round, got a deal worth $9.24 million. That’s a difference of $24.2 million.

The fourth overall pick also gets a fully-guaranteed, four-year deal but the 33rd overall does not.
