Jacob Eason is going pro. On Thursday, the Washington quarterback announced that he’ll forego his remaining eligibility to enter the 2020 NFL Draft. 
“Playing this season for the University of Washington has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. UW has given me an incredible opportunity to develop as a football player and a person, and I am forever grateful and honored to be a Husky,” Eason wrote in a letter to his fans and followers.
Eason, a five-star recruit out of Washington’s Lake Stevens high school, started his collegiate career at the University of Georgia, but a knee injury late in the 2017 season caused him to change course. When Eason was unable to regain his job from Jake Fromm, he transferred to UW and took over as the starter in 2019. In 13 games this year, Eason completed 64.2% of his throws for 3,132 yards with 23 touchdowns against eight interceptions.
Eason is widely projected to be selected in the first two rounds of the NFL draft and could very easily go in the top 32 if he performs well in workouts. Some evaluators may prefer Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, but Eason is widely regarded as having the best arm strength of any top QB in this year’s class.
Awful idea.
How he’s gonna go in the first. He needs a year or two on the bench but hells still go in the first after teams see him throw
How when your project to go in the first two rounds
I think the projections are wrong.
Bears will draft him in the second round and start him over Trubisky! Nothing like having two guys with 13 games of experience at the college level. Well one has a little more just 13 games since his injury!
Eason has 29 games of experience.
Big Arm in the NFL = SUCCESS

So does JaMarcus Russel
Dude is wildly inaccurate and was surrounded with among the best coaching and cast at the UW. He’s not gonna be very good. I’d be shocked if he went in the first round
Bucs here is your new QB.
Titans liked Jake Locker so they might try a Washington prospect again.
