The Los Angeles Rams might be planning for life after Matthew Stafford.

The 2021 Super Bowl champions selected Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett with the No. 128 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.

We clown on Stetson Bennett so much for being born during the Nixon administration but just know that that man *will* start a Week 18 game in 2033 that knocks the Cowboys out of the playoffs

The Rams are bringing in a grizzled vet to mentor Matt Stafford.

The Rams take Georgia QB Stetson Bennett—I got the sense coaches getting involved in the process with teams across the league raised his stock. One I talked to thought he could go in the third and felt like he'd been stigmatized as a "walk-on".<br><br>LA's a great landing spot for him.

Props to the Rams for drafting Stetson Bennett, the only QB in the draft who has a more lacrosse player name than Matthew Stafford (and who might actually be older than Stafford).

Stafford said in January he planned to suit up for the 2023 season and intends to be ready for Week 1 after injuries limited him to nine games in 2022. As long as the 2014 Pro Bowler is healthy, there won't be any sort of quarterback battle in Los Angeles. He's under contract through 2026 as well, so he might not be relinquishing the starting job anytime soon.

But the Rams badly needed depth at quarterback since Stafford was the only one on the roster heading into the draft.

Now, Los Angeles has an intriguing alternative if the 35-year-old is once again sidelined for any stretch.
