Now with Giants, Fromm could get first NFL start vs. Chargers

Former Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm was a member of the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad at the end of November.

Less than two weeks later, he could start his first NFL game - with the New York Giants.

The fifth-round pick in 2020 was signed off Buffalo’s practice squad and dressed for the Giants in last week’s 20-9 loss to the Dolphins. Starter Daniel Jones hasn’t been cleared for contact after suffering a neck injury and backup Mike Glennon remains in concussion protocol.

That leaves Fromm, who has been with the team less than two weeks, as the starter for the Dec. 12 game against the Chargers if Glennon isn’t cleared.

Here’s a sampling of social media buzz surrounding Fromm’s possible start for the Giants:

Mike Glennon was in stretch lines and then went to the sideline.

Jake Fromm was essentially QB1 and Daniel Jones was participating. So was Sterling Shepard during media viewing period.

Kadarius Toney, Adoree Jackson and Kenny Golladay were on the side with training staff. #NYG
