When the Los Angeles Rams drafted quarterback Stetson Bennett out of Georgia, the idea was that he could be the long-term backup quarterback. In other words, he could be a ‘set it and forget it’ type of player at the position.

CBS Sports NFL analyst Cody Benjamin recognized Bennett's preseason success, too. He called Bennett's performance "commanding," which was one of the more positive one-word evaluations of the quarterbacks who played in Week 1. It helps, too, that Rams head coach Sean McVay offered words of praise for Bennett as well.

Stetson Bennett led the Los Angeles Rams to a 31-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in both teams' preseason opener.
