Stetson Bennett NFL Draft: Likely landing spots
#3, Atlanta Falcons
Bringing the hometown quarterback onto the Falcons roster for 2023 would not only be a feel-good story – but it could also be an excellent landing spot for Bennett.
Atlanta gave up on Marcus Mariota towards the end of the 2022 season, placing faith in rookie signal-caller Desmond Ridder.

Ridder was solid, but not spectacular, in the games he played, so bringing in Bennett for the competition could be a good organizational move.
Bennett would also have a clear pathway to start for an NFL team if he’s drafted by his local franchise, and would be an immediate fan favorite among the Falcons faithful.
#2, Green Bay Packers
After being eliminated from the NFC playoffs after losing to the Detroit Lions, fans and analysts alike speculated as to whether it’s the end of the road for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
During the postgame shirt swap, Lions receiver Jameson Williams asked for Rodgers’ jersey, to which ARod replied; “I think I’m going to keep this one,” meaning he could be on his way out of Wisconsin.
If they do move off the three-time NFL MVP, Jordan Love will be the only recognized QB on the roster, meaning they’ll be desperate to bring in some new faces.
A proven winner like Bennett could be an ideal addition, as he’s thrived as the underdog his whole career, and would love the opportunity to do so again for Green Bay.
#1, New Orleans Saints
Arguably the team that Bennett will most likely be playing for in 2023 is the New Orleans Saints. Ever since the retirement of Drew Brees, NOLA has been searching for its long-term successor at quarterback.
The team has been going back-and-forth between veterans Jameis Winston and Andy Dalton throughout 2022, with neither signal-caller impressing NFL fans.
New Orleans is also without a first-round pick in the 2023 draft, having traded it to the Philadelphia Eagles. As Bennett isn’t likely to be selected until the latter rounds of the draft, this move would make sense for all concerned.
