| Biography: |
Pro: Nick Eason will look to make an impact on Denver’s defensive line in his second season with the Broncos coming off a rookie campaign spent on injured reserve. After suffering an Achilles injury during training camp, he spent 2003 on injured reserve. This past offseason, fully recovered from the injury, Eason played in NFL Europe for the Scottish Claymores.
2003: Drafted by the Broncos with the second of their three fourth-round picks in 2003 (114th overall), the three-year starter at Clemson recorded 153 tackles (87 solo) with 15 sacks for -128 yards, 30 stops for losses of 194 yards and 38 quarterback pressures. Following his senior year, he was named to the Goodworks Team by the American Football Coaches Association and became just the second Tiger to be honored. He was the only Atlantic Coast Conference player to be named to the team, which honors players for their considerable community service activities.
College: Eason, who started 35 of 47 games played at Clemson, recorded 153 tackles (87 solo) with 15 sacks for -128 yards, 30 stops for losses of 194 yards and 38 quarterback pressures. Additionally, he caused and recovered a pair of fumbles and deflected six passes. Eason was an All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team selection his senior year after starting all year at weakside defensive tackle and was the first player in school history to graduate with two years of eligibility remaining. On the season, he recorded 62 tackles (36 solo) and ranked second on the team with seven sacks for minus 63 yards. Additionally, he picked up nine stops for losses of 70 yards and had 17 quarterback pressures. As a junior, Eason started every game at strongside defensive tackle except one (vs. North Carolina State), recording 37 tackles (19 solo) with seven stops for losses of 19 yards and 10 quarterback pressures. He also had two fumble recoveries and deflected two passes. Eason was named Clemson's Defensive MVP as a sophomore, which was quite an honor considering he was a member of a defense that featured four first-team All-ACC players (award was voted on by the Clemson coaches). He also won the Hustle Award on defense and the Dedication Award for the defense. Eason tied with All-American Keith Adams as the team leader in quarterback sacks with seven (tied for eighth in the ACC) and ranked 12th on the Clemson team and second among defensive linemen in tackles with 36 (21 solo). Of those 36 tackles, his 11 stops for losses of 97 yards ranked second behind Adams. As a redshirt freshman, Eason started the season opener at weakside defensive end vs. Marshall and appeared in every game, recording 18 tackles (11 solo), one sack for 2 yards and three stops for losses of 8 yards.
High School: Eason attended Toombs County (Lyons, Ga.) High School and averaged more than 10 tackles per game as a senior and collected 75 tackles, eight sacks and seven recovered fumbles as a junior. He earned Class 2A all-state honors as a tight end and all-conference as a junior and senior in addition to being a WTOC first-team selection. A four-year letterman in football, he played in the Georgia North/South All-Star Game. Eason also was named the Class 2A Georgia Basketball Player of the Year and earned All-Region on the hardcourt. |
