Georgia coach Kirby Smart said after his Bulldogs shellacked TCU, 65-7, at SoFi Stadium on Monday night to repeat as national champions. “And a lot of NFL teams like that.”

At 25 years of age, and undersized at 5-foot-11, Bennett doesn’t pass the eye test. His arm won’t wow scouts. Getting drafted may be unlikely.

But there were similar doubts about him on the college level, too, questions about his size, arm strength and ability.

All he did was win 28 of 31 starts, get named a Heisman Trophy finalist this season and lead Georgia to consecutive crowns.

When asked what he hopes the NFL sees in him, Bennett said: “Hard worker, pretty good at football, smart. But they’ll see that. … That will take care of itself. Today we’re national champs.”

In the biggest game of his career, Bennett was brilliant, producing six total touchdowns and throwing for 304 yards.

Smart felt Monday night was his best game, because of how smartly he performed, checking to running plays at the right time, seeing blitzes before they came and using his legs to make plays when throws weren’t there.

Afterwards, amid the celebration, Smart found his 10-year-old son Andrew in tears. He had just gotten the bad news: Bennett was out of eligibility. He was leaving Georgia.
