Going into the 2019 Georgia season, quarterback Jake Fromm was projected as a first round NFL Draft pick by most publications, going as high in the top-five in multiple mock drafts.
But then a sub-par 2019 season hit Fromm and the Georgia offense, and the three-time SEC East winning quarterback saw his draft stock slide.
Now projected anywhere between a third and fifth round pick, Fromm is in Indianapolis partaking in the NFL Combine where his hand measurement has now another obstacle for him hurdle.

I don’t buy into these measurements too much, and for Fromm’s sake hopefully there’s a few NFL GMs out there who can overlook his hand-size, which measured at 8 7/8 inches. (Player’s hand size is measured from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your pinky.)
By NFL quarterback standards, that’s a low measurement.
For comparison, former Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason, now representing Washington at the Combine, had a hand-size measurement of 9 4/8 inches, per Yahoo NFL Reporter Charles Robinson.
The biggest news of the day, as it pertains to hand measurements, comes from Joe Burrow’s numbers. His hand measured nine inches, which would be the smallest of any first round NFL quarterback since 2008.
