The wait is finally over for Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm, who just went at #135 overall to the Buffalo Bills in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Fromm, a three year starter at Georgia who took the Bulldogs to the national title as a true freshman, slid in the draft following a subpar junior season. But in the end, his NFL dreams have come true and he’s now a Bill, where he will backup Josh Allen in Buffalo.
Following the pick, Georgia Twitter absolutely erupted for Fromm, a Warner Robins kid who gave so much to The University of Georgia.
Here are some of our favorites:

Jake, thank you for everything. You gave your all to The University of Georgia for three years, won 11+ games each season, won SEC & Rose Bowl, took us to national title, beat Florida three times & helped bring Georgia back to the top of college football.

If you had listed the NFL teams in order of most likely to draft Fromm to least likely, the Bills would have been in the bottom five or so

Fromm goes into a QB room that features Josh Allen, Matt Barkley, and Davis Webb.
He has a chance to at least be QB3 on that roster, if not beat out both for the backup spot.
