Electronic Arts has released their player ratings for Madden NFL 21, stirring up the pot in the NFL social media world.
Former Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason, who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, made it into the top-10 for quarterback throw power.
You read that right, Patrick Mahomes isn't No. 1 in throwing power 😳 @EAMaddenNFL #Madden21 pic.twitter.com/iZQhT7io4C

Eason made it to the No. 7 spot, behind some legendary Super Bowl champions and league MVPs. Accompanying Eason on the list is another former Dawgs quarterback Matthew Stafford, who got the No. 3 spot.
Eason has always been known for his big arm, one of the biggest upsides to his game. His near game winning touchdown pass against Tennessee in 2016 proved to Bulldog fans and football fans across the country that this kid can throw the ball.

With @skinnyqb10 Jacob Eason going pro, here's a look back at one of my all time shots, this pass to Riley Ridley for a TD against Tennessee in '16 (of course, UT's Hail Mary won it). If you look at :29, Julian Rochester (#5) accidentally stomps on my ankle in the celebration. 🤣 pic.twitter.com/3x7ZQHGyVx

Many were surprised by a lot of Maddens’ lists, with two rookie quarterbacks in the top-10 for throw power. Eason is currently listed as the No. 3 quarterback on the Colts’ roster behind Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett.
