Twitter reacts to Chargers’ selection of QB Easton Stick

The Chargers ended a six-year drought without drafting a quarterback with their fifth round selection of former North Dakota State QB Easton Stick.

The pick may have been a bit head-scratching, as many thought Los Angeles’ quarterback room was set for the 2019 season after the addition of Tyrod Taylor Taylor in free agency.

The selection likely means that Stick will compete with Cardale Jones for the No. 3 spot, or the team has intentions to release Jones to free up the slot for the former Bison.

Here’s how social media reacted when the pick was announced:

Easton Stick is pretty good but wait until you see his successor, Rawlings Glove.

Easton Stick to the Chargers has some people buzzing.

Versatile, mobile, athletic, pro style experience.

Good pick there and a few years under Rivers could yield him a starting spot in the future.

QB Easton Stick is known by his past coaches as one of the best leaders they’ve EVER worked with… I love that the Chargers drafted him. NOW they might finally have an ACTUAL leader in that QB room. I hope Rivers retires soon
