Did Matthew Stafford or Stetson Bennett have the more successful career at Georgia? Though it’s easy to point to the fact that Bennett won two national championships for the Bulldogs prior to being the L.A. Rams’ fourth round pick this year, it may not be fair to say that he was a better college football player than Stafford.
Stafford played at Georgia for Mark Richt from 2006 to 2008, before the Bulldogs became such a consistent presence atop the high school recruiting class rankings. In 2006, Georgia ranked 21st in defense, his running back was Kregg Lumpkin, and his top three receivers were Martrez Milner, Mohamed Massaquoi, and Kenneth Harris.
