Jake Fromm finally got his first NFL start on Sunday, and it did not go as well as expected.

The former UGA quarterback was pulled in the third quarter by the New York Giants, finishing the game with these stats: 6 of 17 passes completed, one interception and a 19.5 passer rating.

“I don’t think it gets much worse than that,” Fromm told reporters on Sunday.

“I wish I would have played better. It’s frustrating for myself. It’s not the way I wanted to have represented myself, my family or, of course, this organization. It’s tough, but I’m going to learn from it.”

The Giants decided to give Fromm a chance after he had a decent showing in garbage time last week against the Cowboys.

“Obviously, there’s a big difference between starting an entire NFL game and coming in at the end of the game when the team is playing more of a two-minute prevent mode,” New York coach Joe Judge said. “That’s not a knock on Jake, it’s just the reality and the truth.”

Fromm was drafted last year by the Buffalo Bills, and served as the team’s emergency COVID quarterback. He never played a snap for the Bills, but was signed by New York a few weeks ago after QB1 Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury.

Even though Fromm struggled mightily on Sunday, he still reached his dream of playing in the NFL.

Wrote NJ.com’s Zack Rosenblatt: “(Fromm) should’ve had a second interception, but Eagles cornerback Darius Slay dropped a Fromm pass that landed right in his hands. Fromm was pressured quite a bit behind the Giants’ brutal offensive line ... Fromm did gain 12 rushing yards on three carries, but generally was inaccurate, missing wide open receivers on multiple occasions.

“It seems Fromm ultimately will not be the solution for the last two games of the season after this, though this was his first-ever NFL start and the Giants don’t have much left to play for.”

It will either be Fromm or fellow backup Mike Glennon getting the starting nod next week for the Giants.

At UGA, Fromm was a three-year starter, but he curiously made the decision to bypass his senior year for the NFL.
