Kirby Smart: 'It's sad that nobody got to see the growth that Jacob Eason had from year one to year two'

Jacob Eason entered the 2017 season with a lot of potential. He did everything expected of him from Georgia's coaching staff during the offseason and held on to the starting quarterback job prior to his sophomore season.

But on the third series against Appalachian State, Eason sprained his knee. During his recovery, quarterback Jake Fromm took over and never looked back.

Eason has since decided to transfer from Georgia after spending two years with the team. But what's lost in the story, head coach Kirby Smart indicated, is how much Eason improved while heading into his second season.
