Can Jacob Easen Emerge as Next out-of-Nowhere No. 1 Pick in 2020 NFL Draft?

If the last two years are any indication, expect the unexpected when it comes to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa, Oregon's Justin Herbert and Georgia's Jake Fromm are currently at the forefront of that conversation. But Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, the last two No. 1 overall picks, were relative afterthoughts at this point in the draft process of their respective years.

Washington's Jacob Eason may follow in Mayfield and Murray's footsteps next season.

Eason has a drastically different skill set than Mayfield and Murray.
