Can Georgia freshman QB Jacob Eason be the next Matt Stafford?

The Washington native has lived up to the hype thus far in Athens — beating out two upperclassmen for the starting gig. Eason’s flashed a big-time arm to go along with a moxie and quiet confidence.

There’s no doubt that if he can stay healthy, Eason has a bright future in Athens.
