While the Indianapolis Colts already know Carson Wentz is going to be their starting quarterback for next season, questions remain regarding who will be his backup.

It goes without saying that Jacob Eason, who was third string on the quarterback depth chart behind Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett as a rookie, will lead the competition.

Believe it or not, all the recent buzz coming out of Indianapolis concerning the 2020 fourth-rounder suggests he’s the prohibitive favorite to win the backup job.
