UGA football’s Jake Fromm gets NFL player comparison

UGA football’s Jake Fromm gets NFL player comparison from NFL.com. The former Georgia Bulldog will be a top quarterback in the NFL Draft.

Georgia Bulldog quarterback Jake Fromm was invited to the NFL Combine and is expected to be one of the top ten quarterbacks selected in 2020. Where he falls in these ten is up for debate.

Fromm had an up and down 2019 season and struggled to truly get in sync with his new group of receivers. He and George Pickens looked deadly at times, but for Fromm and Georgia, the injuries, suspensions, and players declaring for the NFL decimated the wide receiver position in Athens.

Fromm will get a clean slate in the NFL, but who does NFL.com compare him to?

Jake Fromm’s player comparison is current Washington Redskin’s quarterback Colt McCoy. McCoy doesn’t have elite physical talent, but is a solid player who has been in the NFL for ten seasons.

McCoy has been a back-up for much of his career, which is an indication of what NFL.com thinks of Jake Fromm. Fromm, like McCoy, had a distinguished career at a major college.

McCoy, who was a star for the Texas Longhorns, has thrown for 29 touchdowns and 27 interceptions across 28 career starts. He has over 6,000 career passing yards. McCoy was a third round pick in 2010.
