Quarterback Stetson Bennett's journey to the NFL has been anything but linear. He went from Georgia walk-on to transferring to junior college, transferring back to Georgia and then helping lead the Bulldogs to consecutive College Football Playoff national championships in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Bennett, a 2022 Heisman Trophy finalist, did enough in his senior season at Georgia to be selected 128th overall, in the fourth round, of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Now, his professional football journey is on pause as the Rams placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday. That means he is not suiting up with the team for an undisclosed reason, not involving an injury on the field. Rams head coach Sean McVay refused to get into any specifics about Bennett's situation at his press conference on Wednesday.

Major Chris Looney of the Franklin County Sheriff's Office told the Athens Banner-Herald that Ingram-Dawkins was clocked going 90 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone Monday. The redshirt sophomore was then brought in on a warrant for previously failing to appear in court over a citation of parking in a handicapped zone. He was booked in Clarke County Jail before being released on bond, according to the Banner-Herald. Ingram-Dawkins was a reserve defensive lineman in 2022, playing in 14 games and making 10 total stops.

Smart said they had brought in police to speak to the team and had started a system of "checks and balances" for self-reporting speeding tickets. So-called "super speeders" are disciplined, according to the coach, by losing achievement-based monetary awards.

Georgia football coach Kirby Smart said Tuesday that he hasn't yet solved the speeding issue that has plagued his team but that he is "constantly looking and searching" for ways to address it.

Last week, freshman outside linebacker Samuel M'Pemba was ticketed for driving 88 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone, according to records from the Oconee County Sheriff's Office. His speeding citation occurred about an hour before Bulldogs receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint made an appearance in court in Athens and pleaded guilty to driving 90 mph in a 45 mph zone.
