Seattle Dragons: 10 QBs with local ties they should consider
Washington Huskies
Jake Browning
Washington’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns hasn’t found much success in the pros. Since leaving UW 2018, a year early, Jake Browning has done no better than making an NFL practice squad. A position he currently holds on the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jacob Eason
After two years at Georgia, Lake Stevens native Jacob Eason transferred back home to the Washington Huskies. Eason replaced Browning and threw for 3,132 yards and 23 touchdowns.
He also left UW early for NFL Draft. Indianapolis used a fourth round pick on him in 2020, but Eason didn’t make it through two seasons. The Seahawks gave him a shot this summer, but he couldn’t make the team and is now on Carolina’s practice squad.
Washington State Cougars
Luke Falk
From 2014-18, Luke Falk was the face of Mike Leach’s Washington State Cougars Air Raid Offense. In four years with the Cougs, he threw for 14,421 yards and 123 touchdowns.
Falk was drafted in the sixth round by Tennessee but didn’t make the Titans’ final roster. He spent a year in Miami before winding up on the New York Jets.
In 2019, he had a three game stint as Gang Green’s quarterback but was ineffective. He hasn’t been on an NFL roster since.

Anthony Gordon
Leach’s final quarterback at Washington State was off the charts. Anthony Gordon completed 493 of 683 attempts for 5,579 yards and 48 touchdowns. All those stats led the nation.
Despite his prolific college numbers, Gordon hasn’t been able to earn a roster spot.
