He didn’t hear his name called in the 2024 NFL Draft the past few days, but former Kansas Jayhawk quarterback Jason Bean has found a new home in the National Football League. Shortly after the draft ended on Saturday night, the dynamic dual threat quarterback agreed to an undrafted free agent deal with the Indianapolis Colts. According to his agent Brett Tessler of Tessler Sports, many teams were interested in the former Jayhawk star, before he settled on joining Indianapolis.
He’ll be joining another young, budding star in the National Football League, former Florida signal-caller Anthony Richardson. Bean was one of the more dynamic dual threat quarterbacks in college football the past few seasons, showcasing his explosive running speed and ability to elude defenders in the open field.
In the 2023-2024 campaign, he completed 62.3% of his passes for 2,130 passing yards, while tossing in 18 touchdowns with seven interceptions. As a runner, he finished with 280 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. In his team’s 39-32 loss against Oklahoma State on Oct. 14, he completed 67.6% of his passes for 410 passing yards, while tossing in five touchdowns with two interceptions.
Bean saved a spectacular performance for the Guaranteed Rate Bowl, when the Jayhawks faced off against the UNLV Rebels on Dec. 26th. He completed 67.9% of his passes for 449 yards, while tossing in six touchdowns with three interceptions. Bean also tacked on 21 rushing yards on six attempts, in leading Kansas to a 49-36 win.
In 2022 against Texas Tech (Nov. 12), Bean completed 60.7% of his passes for 270 yards, while tossing in three touchdowns with one interception. He also had another solid showing against Oklahoma, completing 16 of 27 passes for seven different receivers.
