Stetson Bennett IV is well aware of the recent attention the Georgia football program has received, but he says it isn't reflective of any sort of team culture issue.

At least nine current and former Georgia players have been arrested over the past thirteen months, according to a report from the Athens Banner-Herald. 

Bennett was arrested on public intoxication charges in January. Earlier this week, police issued an arrest warrant for Jalen Carter's alleged involvement in a vehicle crash that killed teammate Devin Willock and team staff member Chandler LeCroy.

From Bennett's point of view, the arrests are isolated incidents.

"No. Those were individual mistakes that those individuals are responsible for. Not a culture issue," he said Friday at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.

When Bennett was asked about his arrest, he acknowledged he made a mistake.

And he was asked about his situation during his time with the media. 

"It was a mistake that everybody is aware of. I understand why that can’t happen," Bennett said. "I’ve talked to coaches about it and talked to GMs."
