Another former Georgia QB enters NFL training camp as his team’s starter

Matt Stafford has company this training camp as he’s no longer the only former Georgia quarterback penciled to be a starting NFL quarterback entering training camp.

Following the news out of Indianapolis that Carson Wentz will be out for 5-12 weeks due to a recent surgery, the Colts are prepared to begin the season with Jacob Eason under center.

That’s the latest according to Colts coach Frank Reich

“The job is Jacob’s right now … and he’s gotta earn it. But he’s in the driver’s seat,” Reich said on Monday according to Zak Keefer.

Eason has yet to take a snap in a regular season NFL game after being selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
