Ourlads' Profile:

2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about JAKE FROMM: Georgia, 6017 219 4.96. Junior entry, three-year starter, Warner Robins, GA. Permanent team captain. His 8224 career passing yards rank fourth on Georgia’s all-time list. His 78 career touchdown passes puts him in second place on the all-time Bulldog charts. His intangibles as a teammate, leader, and worker are off the charts. Those attributes held off the more athletic and strong-armed passers, Washington’s Jacob Eason and Ohio State’s Justin Fields, when they were enrolled at Georgia. He seems like a logical fit for a West Coast style passing attack. He is composed in the pocket and generally makes good decisions. Throws a catchable ball and more times than not his ball placement keeps the receivers on their path so they can get yards after the catch. Has good touch and can drop the ball over the defender. Has had success against good competition. Fromm’s arm strength is barely average by NFL standards. He rarely can fit the ball into tight windows of the defense. Does not step and drive the ball down the field. Dependent on the talent around him. Not a talented runner if the pocket breaks down. The bottom line is Fromm is a great leader, smart, elite at reading coverages, and is a rhythm type quarterback with good ball placement to a variety of receivers. 2019 stats: 234/385, 2860 yds, 60.8%, 24 TD, 5 INT, -12 yds rushing, 0 TD, 141.15 QB rating. Ball velocity 53 mph. OSR:13/ 15. Third/fourth round. (A-31 1/8, H-8 7/8, SS-4.51, VJ-30).
