Watch: Former Georgia QB Jake Fromm gets first NFL snaps

Fromm took the field on Friday night for the first time since the 2020 Sugar Bowl.

Former Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm got the first snaps of his NFL career on Friday night in the Buffalo Bills 16-15 preseason win over the Detroit Lions.

Buffalo drafted Fromm in the 5th round of the 2020 draft after a productive career at Georgia where he helped lead the Bulldogs to an SEC Championship appearance, 2017 SEC Championship title, 2018 Rose Bowl playoff win and a national championship appearance.

Last season, Fromm served as the Bills’ emergency quarterback incase of COVID-19 issues, which kept him away from the team for most of the last year.

Last night Fromm got to take the field for the first time in his young pro career and well, he impressed…

This 42 yard pass set up the Bills’ game-winning field goal. Fromm totaled 65 yards on 8 of 13 passing and took two sacks but looked in-control in his first game appearance since the 2020 Sugar Bowl.

Fromm took to Twitter after the game:

Fromm finished his illustrious career in Athens as the second all-time leader in passing touchdowns (78) and fourth in passing yards (8,224).

The Fromm stat that stands out the most – he maintained a perfect record in the SEC East over his three seasons except for South Carolina in 2019, that includes a spotless 3-0 record over the Gators from Gainesville.

You can catch Fromm and the Bills in another preseason matchup on Saturday, Aug. 21 as they take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.

ESPN analyst has Georgia football QB Jake Fromm moving up in NFL draft

ESPN analyst Todd McShay has Georgia football QB Jake Fromm moving up in the NFL Draft.

Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm, who elected to skip his senior year and test the NFL draft, has one influential football analyst predicting Fromm made the right decision to move on.

ESPN analyst Todd McShay has Fromm rated as the 28th overall player and the fourth best quarterback in the draft. Fromm was 35-7 as UGA’s starter and 13-7 against Top 25 teams during his three years in Athens.

“There’s a reason talented quarterbacks such as Justin Fields and Jacob Eason kept transferring out of Georgia,” McShay wrote on Wednesday.

“Though he is the least physically gifted of the top five quarterbacks in the class, Fromm is the type of QB who will always find a way to win and excel with high-end football intelligence.”

In Yahoo Sports mock draft, they have Fromm selected by Chicago in the second round, 43rd overall, but the Bears first pick. USA Today has Fromm going to the Las Vegas Raiders (sounds a bit strange) in the third round with the 91st overall pick.

The 2020 NFL Draft will be the 85th annual meeting of National Football League franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft is scheduled to be held from April 23–25, 2020 in Las Vegas.
