INDIANAPOLIS — If there’s a quarterback in the draft who shares Bears general manager Ryan Pace’s unwavering optimism, it’s Georgia’s Jake Fromm.
Fromm is quick to admit that he doesn’t necessarily look the part of a star NFL prospect. At 6-2, 219 pounds, he appears more like someone you’d see selling produce at Whole Foods than on an NFL field. His 8¬-inch hand size isn’t optimal, either.
“It’s an eighth of an inch away from being the desired nine inches — no big deal,” Fromm, who met with the Bears at the NFL Scouting Combine, said this week.
