Two-time College Football Playoff (CFP) national champion Stetson Bennett traded in his pads for a headset on Thursday.
No, he's not giving up on his NFL dream to become a coach, but for one afternoon, he took a shift as a fast-food employee.

Bennett's Georgia Bulldogs throttled TCU in the national title game, 65-7, on Monday night to become the first back-to-back champion since Alabama in 2012. The Bulldogs also became the first program to win two straight in the CFP era, which began in 2014.
Bennett finished the game 18-for-25 for 304 yards and four passing touchdowns, while adding three carries for 39 yards and two scores on the ground as well. While handling one order at Raising Cane's on Thursday, the Heisman Trophy finalist poked fun at the historic final score from three days earlier.
"That'll be $65.07."

Bennett finished his career at Georgia with a 65.0% completion percentage for 8,428 passing yards, 66 touchdowns and 21 interceptions, along with a 160.7 passer efficiency rating across 41 games. The 25-year-old added 141 carries for 530 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns.
Regardless of how Bennett's possible pro career plays out, it'd be a surprise to ever see him flipping burgers (or frying chicken) down the road.
