Georgia QB Stetson Bennett at the Manning Passing Academy

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett was one of the 45 college quarterbacks invited to this year’s Manning Passing Academy, which took place over the weekend.

The annual event hosts some of the top high school and college signal-callers in the country and is put on by NFL Hall of Famers Peyton and Eli Manning.

Bennett, who led the Bulldogs to their first national title in 42 years, had a chance to learn from some legendary quarterbacks while passing on his own knowledge to the next generation of passers.

Bennett’s rise from a former walk-on to a national champion has been one of the best stories in college football over the last year. The Blackshear, Georgia, native threw for 2,862 yards and 29 touchdowns last season and will, once again, have an offense full of weapons in 2022.
