Bennett spoke Friday about people who doubt his game and specifically discussed getting selected as a Heisman finalist over Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker. When discussing Hooker specifically, Bennett explained he thought the comparisons weren’t fair in regards to the Volunteers’ playmaker and everything he brought to this team in 2022.
“I don’t think it’s fair to Hendon. He’s a great player. I don’t think it should be spoke of in that light. I think he should be getting respect for the year that he had and not what could have been but what wasn’t,” Bennett said. “He almost — not single handedly — but was a main factor in that program changing course, you know? That’s always silly to me. As far as me getting hate for it, it doesn’t bother me really. I didn’t make that call.”
