Washington signs former Georgia Bulldogs QB
The Washington Commanders signed former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Jake Fromm. Fromm previously worked out for the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants.
Washington’s starting quarterback, Carson Wentz, is out for several weeks with a finger injury. Washington’s second-string quarterback, Taylor Heinicke, is projected to start for the next few weeks. Rookie quarterback Sam Howell is expected to back up Heinicke.
Washington signed Fromm to its practice squad. Fromm will have a chance to impress coaches there and is an option as a backup quarterback if the Commanders sustain more injuries at the position.
Fromm threw for 210 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in three games for the New York Giants during the 2021 NFL season.

Fromm has been working out and taking classes at the University of Georgia. He plans to graduate in December 2022. However, this may disrupt his plans.
Fromm was a fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft. Fromm threw for 8,224 yards and 78 touchdowns during his career with the Georgia Bulldogs.
