2. Jacob Eason
Coming out of high school, Jacob Eason was labeled with huge expectations after being named the 2015 Gatorade Player of the Year and top-ranked quarterback in the country. Eason took his talents to the University of Georgia where he spent two years in Athens before suffering a broken wrist which eventually led to his departure elsewhere.
The highly touted recruit received a new opportunity in 2019, becoming the new signal-caller for the University of Washington. As a member of the Huskies, Eason went on to throw for 3,132 yards and 23 touchdowns over 13 games.
Positives:
Eason has plenty of arm strength to eventually get a starting opportunity in the league. He thrives on stretching the field with his deep throws while mixing in looks of play-action. When pressure closes in on him, Eason does a quality job of staying poise under duress.
Eason plays with solid confidence, showing he’s not afraid to make any throw on the field. His body type and rocket of an arm are what separate him from other passers, making himself a polarizing prospect in this year’s draft class.
Negatives:
While Eason isn’t afraid to use his big arm, he can get himself in trouble when becoming careless of fitting the ball into tight windows. His progressions could use some modifications as he frequently locks onto his primary read.
Eason isn’t much of a runner and that has altered his ability to keep plays alive when going off-script. Sitting for a year in the NFL would serve him well as he needs more reps before being thrown into live-action.
