CBS Sports NFL analyst Cody Benjamin recognized Bennett's preseason success, too. He called Bennett's performance "commanding," which was one of the more positive one-word evaluations of the quarterbacks who played in Week 1. It helps, too, that Rams head coach Sean McVay offered words of praise for Bennett as well.

The Los Angeles Rams played a lot of their rookies in the team's Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Some fared well, but Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski wrote that undrafted free agent interior offensive lineman Willie Lampkin was among the 10 best first-year players on the field this weekend.
