Kirby Smart on Jake Fromm's use of downtime: 'I did the same thing when I was playing'

Jake Fromm’s broken hand became a big discussion topic on the Fourth of July.

As it turned out, the sophomore quarterback spent some time on a lake and ended up with a fractured bone in what was a complete accident.

The injury isn’t severe and Fromm won’t miss any meaningful practice time. But naturally, an off-field injury like this gets magnified when it happens to your starting quarterback who just led his team to an appearance in the national championship.

Appearing at former NFL head coach Bruce Arians’ Georgia Celebrity Golf Classic at Lake Oconee, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said what Fromm did during his offseason isn’t much different than what he did when he was in college.
