- If you have a subscription to The Athletic (or sign up for one) you can read Christian Caple’s article about Jacob Eason and his MVP award last season (on the scout team).
- There’s a real hype train surrounding Eason heading into this season, but in this article by The Seattle Times’ Mike Vorel, Chris Petersen says “I can be the the scout team QB. It’s just looking pretty throwing the ball.”
- Nice article on Eason from Seattle Weekly, where he says he learned a lot watching Jake Browning operate.
