As the Indianapolis Colts continue their search for a new quarterback, former fourth-round pick Jacob Eason is hard at work preparing in case he needs to step in behind center in 2021.
After a redshirt rookie season sitting behind Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett, Eason is hoping to get a shot at leading the Colts offense. Though Chris Ballard said that’s likely not in the plans for the 22-year-old, Eason is still doing what he can to make sure he’s ready.
That includes working with quarterback guru Tom House this offseason, per Jim Ayello of The Indianapolis Star.
In the weeks since the Colts season ended, Eason has taken some time away from the field to spend with friends and family. But the downtime is soon coming to an end. The Washington state native plans to head back west to Huntington Beach, Calif., to continue refining his game at the famed 3DQB training facility with the throwing experts Tom House and Adam Dedeaux, among others. Colts fans might remember that ex-Colts quarterback Andrew Luck worked extensively with House while recovering from a shoulder injury. Other famous 3DQB clients include Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff.
This is great for Eason’s development. Because he didn’t get any game action in the preseason and regular season, the Colts don’t know what they have in the young gunslinger. But part of his development comes from making sure “I don’t take any steps back,” Eason told Ayello.
The Colts are still going to be heavily working in the quarterback market this offseason but Eason working with House is a great sign for his development.
