Colts Are Best Possible Fit for Jacob Eason Despite Waiting Until Day 3
By Michael Luciano
After he and former Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm surprisingly fell out of the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Washington quarterback Jacob Eason didn't have to wait long to hear his name called in the fourth round.
Frank Reich and the Indianapolis Colts used the No. 122 overall pick in the draft on the über-talented former Husky.

Eason fell because he is extremely inconsistent and has some issues with touch down the field. Having said that, Eason might have the strongest arm in the entire NFL Draft.
Plus mobility and solid playmaking ability in conjunction with his bazooka of a right arm makes Eason the best developmental quarterback prospect in this entire draft. Frank Reich and Nick Sirianni also have a reputation as expert teachers of quarterback play.

In Indy, Eason can work out the kinks while he sits behind Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett. If the wheels start to fall off in Indy, Reich could throw a supremely talented prospect in Eason out into his vertical offense.
