QB Jacob Eason
The rookie quarterback has his roster spot basically locked down, as Eason is expected to be the third quarterback behind Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett. But not having much of an offseason, plus no preseason will really hurt Eason’s progression as he looks to become the long-term answer at quarterback for the Colts.
One knock on Eason is his lack of experience. In four years of college, Eason only played in 29 games. He played in all 13 his freshman and redshirt junior year, but missed 10 games his sophomore year and sat out one year due to transfer rules.
The hope was Eason can get reps is in training camp and preseason. Now, for the most part, those are all gone. For someone that hasn’t had a lot of experience in college, and will get little reps this year, Eason will need to be a quick learner depending on what the Colts do at quarterback for the 2021 season.
