WEAKNESSES

—Average size, arm strength and athleticism.

—Is not able to move around in the pocket to extend plays or create on the move.

—Gets to advanced reads late; needs to read the field faster.

—Doesn't seem to trust his arm to make throws outside the hashes and gets caught looking for safe routes.

—Regressed throughout his career at Georgia and never built on freshman-season momentum, when his football IQ and accuracy were promising.

—Will need a good offensive line keeping him clean and protected in the pocket.

OVERALL

Fromm is a low-risk, low-reward quarterback who would be ideal for a team with a great defense and a good run game. He won't turn the ball over, but he also won't create many big plays on his own. Fromm's limited athleticism and arm strength will create a belief that he's a game manager. That could work in the right fit, but at worst he's a high-level backup who can win games if pressed into action.
