Congratulations to former Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason, who was taken #122 overall by the Indianapolis Colts in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.
Eason, the former number one overall player in the class of 2016, started his true freshman year at Georgia and did a fine job.
He lost the starting job his sophomore year to Jake Fromm. Eason stuck around during the 2017 season and provided nothing but support to Fromm and his teammates amid a national championship run.
After the 2017 season, Eason transferred to Washington. He sat out the 2018 season but started in 2019, throwing for 3,132 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
In Indianapolis, Eason will have an opportunity to sit behind NFL veteran Phillip Rivers, who joined the Colts this offseason after a long career with the Chargers.
At 6-foot-6 231 pounds, and with an absolute cannon of an arm, Eason has all the tools to be a successful NFL quarterback.
Congratulations to former Georgia QB Jacob Eason.
