Giants QB Jake Fromm Remains Optimistic Despite Awful Debut Showing
Feature - December 31, 2021
ust last week, Giants quarterback Jake Fromm could feel the confidence oozing from his pores as he prepared for his first career NFL start against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Called up to the huddle in relief of backup quarterback Mike Glennon, who had been struggling to replace starter Daniel Jones, the young quarterback fresh off the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad said he was “amped up and ready to go” for the opportunity in front of him. However, as under forty minutes in the City of Brotherly Love soon revealed, things did not exactly turn out the way Fromm envisioned they would.
Playing in his first starting minutes since he was a senior at the University of Georgia, Fromm completed only 6 of 17 throws for 25 yards, one interception, and a 19.4 overall passer rating in the Giants 34-10 loss to the rival Eagles
….
It was a rough “Welcome to the NFL” for Fromm but still one he knows he’s capable of putting behind him. With the Giants officially setting their sights on their next opponent in the Chicago Bears (5-10), right behind them is Fromm, who is eager to wipe the slate clean.
