Stetson Bennett kicked off 2025 with a great start. The former 2023 fourth-round pick out of Georgia led five scoring drives for the Rams, including two fourth-quarter touchdown passes. Bennett finished the game with 188 passing yards for two passing touchdowns on 16-of-24 attempts in the 31-21 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Brian Schottenheimer said he got emotional in the hours before his long-awaited first game as a head coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Stetson Bennett is also viewing this NFL season as a new beginning in a winding football career,

While it's just the preseason, Bennett's performance was encouraging, following two subpar seasons since the Rams selected him in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He missed his rookie year after being placed on the reserve/non-football illness list and then had a bad preseason in 2024 before he sat the bench as the team's third-stringer.
