Washington head coach Chris Petersen knows what’s been written, tweeted, shared and said about Jacob Eason. He’s no stranger to the lofty expectations surrounding the former five-star quarterback who has yet to actually play a game for the Huskies.

To Petersen, the amount of pressure that comes with all those projections is unfair. He’d like to see Eason avoid social media because of it, so he’d be happy to know Eason classified his online engagement as limited.
