- Moving on to all things Huskies in the NFL Draft:
Round 4, No. 122: @Colts select @UW_Football QB Jacob Eason.https://t.co/yZr1oKtqy9#NFLDraft
— NFL Draft (@NFLDraft) April 25, 2020
- Jacob Eason slid all the way into the fourth round, well below where many had projected he would be taken. Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times wrote about how Eason vowed to prove his critics wrong. Mike Martin of Husky Maven thinks that the fourth round slide could actually be good for Eason. And from Christian Caple of the Athletic($), what will Jacob Eason bring to the colts?
- In a more feel good story, Washington center Nick Harris was drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns:
Round 5, No. 160 overall: @Browns select @UW_Football C Nick Harris.https://t.co/IGtr9VkdBb#NFLDraft
— NFL Draft (@NFLDraft) April 25, 2020
- Check out Vorel’s story on Harris here, and Max’s write up here.
- Perhaps the biggest Husky related news from the draft was just how many of the draft eligible Washington players went undrafted, including left tackle Trey Adams, tight end Hunter Bryant, and three others who had a chance to be drafted. Husky Maven’s link is above, and Vorel’s commentary on the matter can be found here.
- Vorel also raised some painful points regarding Salvon Ahmed and Hunter Bryant’s decision to leave early.
- For a summary of where the undrafted Washington players signed, make sure to follow Max’s Washington Undrafted Free Agent Tracker.
A dream come true ✍️
