“I don’t even know what to think right now. We have a lot of good players who make me look good. It’s special, This honor is all about my teammates and this team. I wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have the team that we have. This honor is for them. I understand what Coach Smart means when he says that success comes to those who don’t look for it or are too busy working to look for it. I have never thought about the Heisman. I just wanted to play quarterback at Georgia. I just wanted to play football. I’m thinking of the players and people who have been in this with me. Regardless of who wins, it’s a huge honor to be in this group. The wideouts, tight ends, running backs, offensive line, defense, coaches – I wouldn’t have this opportunity without them so a ton of gratitude for them.” -- Stetson Bennett

Anyone who has an issue with him being listed as a heisman finalist is retarded or an arse. Bryce overcoming OBrien alone should have got him invited. He carried Alabama this year.

I don’t get the hate for Stetson. He is a good guy and plays hard

“Y’now, I’m just happy to be here and hope to help the ballclub.

I just want to give it my best shot and good Lord willing, things’ll work out.

Gotta play ’em one day at a time, Y’now”

Stetson Bennett deserves to be there and the statement is a damn good one.

All he does is win.

I don’t think he wins it, but the invite is well deserved. I know he gets the rep of being a “game manager”. But if he is, he’s the best one that has come along in a long time.

Hard to dislike the kid. Everyone loves the comeback story. He will go down with the Tua's, Hurts's, Burrow's, Tebow's not only for his work on the field but off, as well.

Congratulations to Stetson Benett. It was an honor for us to have Carlton Martial represent Troy University.

Firestorm??? Why? You don't "game manage" two seasons like this.

I mean he can’t just come out and say he doesn’t deserve it.

Watch Stetson win the Heisman for throwing quick slants to 5* receivers.

Baker Mayfield won a heisman. Worst QB Panthers have ever had. Heisman just isn't that big a deal.

Classy comment.

Best player on the best team is usually at the heisman ceremony. Same as it ever was.

He seems to work hard and has definitely earned where he is at. I hope he wins it. Good Luck

Very feel good story with Bennett overcoming all the odds and winning a National Championship and MVP award as the starting Q.B for UGA. The team he dreamed of playing for as a kid. I was very critical of Bennett when he continued to get the start over J.T. Up until the fumbled in Natty and was sitting alone on the end if the bench. Next series back he dropped a bomb in stride to AD for a score, I knew it was over for Bama then. He proved to me he was the heart and soul of this team. There's not a more deserving player in the game today that deserves this award.
