Gunner Stockton received the most important endorsement possible from Georgia legend

The similarities between Gunner Stockton and Stetson Bennett IV's respective games could not be more obvious. Both are mobile, dual-threat quarterbacks with a propensity of coming through in the clutch Between the Hedges for the Georgia Bulldogs. This pair of rural Georgia natives embody the necessary galvanizing force to bring good UGA teams together on a path toward making them great.

Bennett caught wind from Crissy Froyd that Stockton compares himself to him during an interview.

"I'd love to hear what he said about me. In terms of you saying he told you he thinks he has the same type of playing style and moxie as me, I totally agree. I love watching him and I'm one of the biggest fans of Georgia that there is."

The ringing endorsement from the Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback is all that needs to be said.

Although Stockton will never match Bennett's unblemished record in the College Football Playoff, he now quarterbacks a team every bit capable of winning the entire thing this postseason. No, this year's Georgia team is nowhere near as talented as either the 2021 or 2022 teams Bennett led. That being said, there may not be a more well-coached team than the one that Kirby Smart is currently leading...

Now with Bennett officially in Stockton's corner, the sky is the limit to this blossoming Georgia star!

Stetson Bennett IV reveals that he is a massive fan of Gunner Stockton

Look. It is incredibly easy to root for a player like Stockton. He is a homegrown talent who waited his turn to start at Georgia. Bennett did the same, after very briefly going the junior college route. When it was their turn to drive the bus that is the Georgia offense, they masterfully guided to one victory after another. Yes, the similarities are there between Bennett and Stockton, but the latter still has to play...

What made Bennett so special for Georgia was his innate ability to work himself out of troubling situations, almost always leading Georgia in its comeback pursuit. He saved his best football for when the moment required it. Stockton seems to be cut from the same cloth, but just a little greener. His Georgia story is still being written, while Bennett's has been forged years ago. Will they look similar?

For Stockton, he seems to fit Mike Bobo's offense like hand in glove, just like Bennett did when he was running Todd Monken's offense to perfection. Bennett was a more polished downfield passer, while Stockton is the closest thing the SEC has seen to Cam Newton in the red zone. Together, they have helped maintain a strong identity at Georgia under Kirby Smart. Their respect for each other is ideal!

At this time, Stockton may have do a little more to win a 12-team playoff with the less talented team.
