5 QB prospects Bears should watch at NFL Scouting Combine

The Bears are expected to target a veteran QB in free agency, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if they also drafted a young QB to develop.

Jacob Eason is another intriguing quarterback prospect that the Bears should be watching. While Eason is a project that definitely needs some work at the professional level, his elite arm talent and athleticism make him someone that would be difficult to pass up.

Like Love, Eason struggled in 2019. While his stats were glowing — he completed 64.2% of his passes for 3,132 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 13 games — the bigger picture points to some inconsistencies that he’ll need to clean up at the pro level.
