Brock Purdy. Desmond Ridder. Sam Howell. Why do they all have in common? All three quarterbacks fell in the 2022 draft class only to find themselves in a position to start as rookies for their respective teams.
The trio now faces opportunities to serve as full-time starters entering Year 2.
Among those signal-callers to experience a similar fall in this year's draft, the Los Angeles Rams' Stetson Bennett is best positioned to travel a comparable path based on where he landed and the current circumstances surrounding the team's starter, Matthew Stafford.
Stafford, who turned 35 earlier this year, missed eight games last season due to multiple injuries.
