Rams general manager Les Snead described the plan for Bennett’s role in May on an appearance on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’.
“Anytime you go into the draft, you never know with a QB, there’s only so many of them,” Snead said. “But we did think that it could be very beneficial if we could find a young quarterback to develop as a backup. That way you don’t get into, let’s call it, renting QBs for a year.”
