Stetson Bennett addresses tumultuous offseason at combine

INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett IV addressed his somewhat tumultuous offseason Friday at the NFL's scouting combine which included a January arrest in Dallas for public intoxication.

Bennett, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist this past season, also did not participate in any of the postseason All-Star games and was criticized for his actions during the victory parade after leading the Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships.

Bennett was arrested Jan. 15 in Dallas when police responded to calls about a man pounding on doors in the early-morning hours.

"It was, you know, a mistake that everybody's aware of,'' Bennett said.
