Welcome to the Film Room. This is a weekly analysis of one big play, series, scheme or idea from the previous weekend’s action, in an attempt to decipher what it means going forward.
In late June, inside a cramped lobby on the campus of Nicholls State University, Jake Fromm revealed how stardom has changed his life. For one, he was there, at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La., after leading Georgia to the national championship game as a true freshman. In his hometown of Warner Robins, about 100 miles south of UGA’s campus, Fromm is such a noticeable face and celebrated figure that autograph and selfie-seeking fans prevent him from shopping at the Academy Sports, Lowe’s or Kroger.
