News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. logoIndianapolis Colts select Huskies QB Jacob Eason in 4th round of NFL Draft
Washington quarterback Jacob Eason waited longer than expected to hear his name called in the NFL Draft, but he might have landed in just the right spot.
Eason widely projected as a second-day pick wasnt taken until the fourth round on Saturday when the Indianapolis Colts selected him with the 122nd overall pick. He was the sixth quarterback off the board behind LSUs Joe Burrow, Oregons Justin Herbert, Alabamas Tua Tagovailoa, Utah States Jordan Love and Oklahomas Jalen Hurts.
But after the Colts selected Eason, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick called it the perfect situation for the 6-foot-6, 231-pound former Lake Stevens star. Eason will now get the opportunity to learn under Philip Rivers, whom the Colts signed to a one-year, $25 million deal in the offseason. Both Rivers and Indianapolis backup Jacoby Brissett are free agents in 2021.
Theres certain situations that quarterbacks get drafted into where they should not only be cheering for the fact that they got drafted, Riddick said after Eason was picked, they should be cheering for the fact that they got drafted to the team they went to.
