2020 NFL Draft: Best NFL fits for top 5 quarterback prospects

3. Jacob Eason, Washington – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Fans had high hopes for Jameis Winston in an offensive scheme ideally suited for his skill set. Head coach Bruce Arians and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich run a vertical offense, an offense that asks their quarterbacks to pass a ton, utilize play action and take shots down the field. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked out well for Winston, who remains an inconsistent enigma.

However, a player like Washington’s Jacob Eason gives them a fresh start with a quarterback they can mold. In fact, Eason favors Jameis Winston. Like Winston, Eason is big, standing 6-6 and nearly 230 pounds with a cannon for an arm.

When things break down, he has enough athleticism to move around the pocket or run effectively. Eason isn’t afraid of taking shots downfield. He has a powerful arm with passes that pack a punch. He puts the ball on a rope, no matter the type of throw. And he isn’t afraid to fit passes into tight windows.

For the Buccaneers, that’s what they need. With a player like Chris Godwin who can stretch field and a 50-50 ball monster like Mike Evans, someone with Eason’s skills make a ton of sense in Tampa Bay.

Likewise, Evans will help make Eason’s transition a smooth one. He does a great job as a play-action passer and doesn’t shy away when pressure is in his face. Eason is the type of quarterback Arians and Leftwich can mold into the player they want him to be.
