Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm entered his junior season of college as a projected top-ten NFL Draft pick.
After a pretty disappointing 2019 season in red and black, Fromm has slipped to a mid-round projection in this month’s draft.
Things just were not clicking for Fromm this past season in Athens. Passes that we had seen him routinely hit for two seasons were becoming less and less consistent. He still guided the Bulldogs to another SEC Championship appearance, but the offense felt flat and fans became to grow impatient with Fromm’s inability to move the ball.
But what we had been exposed to for two years prior to 2019 was enough evidence for us UGA fans to see that Fromm has all the makings of an elite NFL quarterback. He just has some work to do to get there.
Fromm’s deep-ball issues frustrated Georgia fans more than anything last season, and the Warner Robins product identified what was causing those under thrown passes.
“I think it’s been my feet,” Fromm told The Herald Bulletin. “My feet have not been as clean as they needed to be this past football season. That’s something that we’ve really been hammering throughout this process.
“So, for me, I’m trying to get my feet better and as good as they can be because wherever my feet are, and how they are doing, it’s going to take care of the rest of whatever is going on. It starts from the bottom up. I’m really trying to take care of those.”
If Fromm can figure out how to get his deep-ball issues in check, he can have a long career in the pros. His leadership, work-ethic and brains are enough to get him very far.
