UW and WSU at the NFL combine: Jacob Eason says ‘I felt ready’ to leave school and enter the draft

INDIANAPOLIS — Should quarterback Jacob Eason have stayed at UW for another season? That remains a debate as the NFL combine kicks off this week.

According to a story published Monday on NFL.com — the league’s official website — at least two unnamed general managers said Eason should have remained with the Huskies for one more season.

“He’s a big guy who’s athletic with good arm strength, and he can make all the throws,” an unnamed AFC GM said. “It would’ve helped him to stay in school another year — there’d be less uncertainty — but I could see teams liking his traits and projecting him as someone they could develop into a starter.
