Georgia’s Jake Fromm has received his 2020 NFL Combine measurements. Fromm’s hand size, which is under nine inches, is somewhat concerning. Nine inches is considered the minimum hand size for an NFL quarterback.

Here’s how both Jake Fromm and Washington Huskies QB Jacob Eason measured at the combine:

Ultimately, hand size doesn’t have much correlation with cold weather performance and fumbles, so it shouldn’t drop Fromm too far. That being said, Fromm doesn’t have the measurables of the other elite quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft.

LSU’s Joe Burrow did have nine inch hands as well. He’ll still be the first pick of the NFL Draft. One-eighth of an inch shouldn’t make too much of a difference for UGA’s Jake Fromm.

NFL player comparison:

Fromm: Colt McCoy

Eason: Carson Palmer/Brock Osweiler

Georgia football safety JR Reed ranks low in USA TODAY draft position rankings

Such rankings are subject to change following pre-draft workouts including the NFL Combine and each school’s respective Pro Days.

The NFL Scouting Combine is less than two weeks away. Ten of the 337 players invited to Indianapolis played their college ball for the University of Georgia, placing the Bulldogs among the best-represented programs in the event.

Though each participant is assuredly honored to be invited, one standout previously projected as the Bulldog’s top defensive prospect is listed lower than previously predicted, ranked as the fourteenth best safety prospect according to USA TODAY’s DraftWire.

J.R., the son of twelve-year NFL veteran Jake Reed, arrived in Athens by way of Tulsa University. The same young man who started every game in his first season on an SEC roster (and every game until his graduation) was regarded as a two-star recruit coming out of high school.

It is important to note that these are preliminary rankings based entirely upon collegiate performance. Such rankings are subject to change following pre-draft workouts including the NFL Combine and each school’s respective Pro Days.

That said, all he did was tally 199 tackles and five interceptions in his three seasons wearing red and black. He somehow managed to record seven tackles in a Rose Bowl win. Those are decent marks for a two-star, I suppose.

J.R. Reed has spent his past three years discrediting doubters. Some may see him as being ranked too low, but it’s doubtful that the man himself is any sort of bothered by it.

 

Ten Georgia football alumni invited to NFL Combine

The Georgia Bulldogs will be well represented at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.

The Georgia Bulldogs will be well represented at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.

Ten Dawg lettermen will attempt to turn the heads of NFL scouts and coaches across a series of drills and exercises, all conducted between February 27 and March 2 in Indianapolis.

Today, the NFL released a list of all 337 players invited. Representing the Silver Britches will be (in alphabetical order):

  • Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship
  • Wide receiver Lawrence Cager
  • Quarterback Jake Fromm
  • Running back Brian Herrien
  • Offensive lineman Solomon Kindley
  • Safety JR Reed
  • Running back D’Andre Swift
  • Offensive lineman Andrew Thomas
  • Tight end Charlie Woerner
  • Offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson

With several surprising early draft declarations, Georgia is ranked among the top three in number of prospects invited per school.

The only school that matches Georgia’s number of participants is Alabama  and the only school with more participants than both is LSU.

Good luck to every Dawg at the Combine. The Bulldog Nation is rooting for you.
