Jake Fromm

Extremely intelligent QB. Good between the ears. Good size and a perfect fit in a West Coast style offense. Gets the ball out quickly and excels in that style of offense. Great accuracy in the short to intermediate passing game. Consistently putting the ball where only his receivers can make a play on it. Accurate when throwing on the run as well (TD drop in Notre Dame game). Receivers consistently dropped passes and/or ran wrong routes all season long. Hard to gauge true accuracy, but really impressed. Great decision making. Constantly getting the ball out quick and is often making the correct read. Rarely holds onto the ball too long for a sack and is very rarely throwing the ball into double coverage where it could be easily picked off. Great mental processing ability and can get to his 4th read at times. Has a great understanding of the game. Good arm, but doesn't have a rocket. Able to send the ball downfield, but wasn't asked to do it much in this offense. Has plenty enough arm strength though to drive the ball to either sideline and stretch the field. Puts the ball in the right spots downfield consistently and is able to win in back shoulder situations with the right receiver. Good pocket presence and is able to stand in a congested pocket to deliver the pass. Showed proficiencies in stepping up in the pocket and sliding forward before resetting his feet. Good mechanics. Consistently shuffling his feet in conjunction with his progressions to reset. Has a tendency to stop his hips short instead of driving all the way through the ball. Leads to some under-throws, but that can be tweaked and worked on to be ironed out at the NFL. Otherwise, solid mechanics. Low improvisation grade to the structured nature of the offense. Able to tuck the ball and step up and through to pick up some yards on the ground, but rarely does so...is often getting the ball out so quickly he doesn't have the chance. Good poise in the pocket. Able to stand under the pressure of a blitzing corner or edge and deliver the ball before taking a shot. Has a natural countdown clock in his mind that knows how long he has until he absolutely has to get the ball out. Comes back to bite him occasionally, but otherwise is really adept at standing under pressure. However, struggles with interior pressure. Can accelerate his internal clock when pressure is breaking through up the middle. Underrated athlete and has the mobility to pick up yards on the ground if they're there. However, does not often run and will not be asked to do that a ton in the NFL. Overall, a very intelligent QB who can be surgical if paired with the right receiving weapons. Was surrounded by young and inexperienced receivers in 2019 and it showed. Constant dropped passes make his stats look terrible, but he was putting the ball where it needed to be. Broken off routes or running routes incorrectly caused several incompletions and/or interceptions. Is a phenomenal leader and could elevate a NFL program if given the opportunity. Needs to land in a timing based, West Coast system to thrive in the NFL.
