Georgia's Jacob Eason threw for 2,430 yards and 16 touchdowns as a freshman last season. Those stats said a lot about the kind of quarterback he is.

But how he's handled himself this season off the field may say even more about the kind of person he is.

Eason earned the starting job again but was hurt in the first game of the season and was replaced by Jake Fromm, who has led the Bulldogs to a 12-1 record and a spot in Monday's Rose Bowl.

Eason has watched from the sideline and handled the situation gracefully. He’s also prepared for every game and could still have a critical role if the Bulldogs need him to play at some point against Oklahoma Monday.

Watch the video above to see what Eason thinks about Fromm, the team and more.
