Fromm, Thomas at NCAA symposium

- — CONNOR RILEY, DAWGNATION

Last week, nine former Georgia football players were in Indianapol­is as participan­ts in the NFL combine. But two current Georgia players were also in Indianapol­is as part of an NCAA program to help inform elite players of what the possible the NFL transition is like.

According to ESPN, quarterbac­k Jake Fromm and offensive tackle Andrew Thomas were a part of the NCAA’s Elite Football Symposium, which invites 25 of college football’s best players to Indianapol­is to help inform players on a number of issues ranging from agents to social media.

The Elite Football Symposium was held at NCAA headquarte­rs as opposed to Lucas Oil Stadium. Some of the other players at the event were Alabama quarterbac­k Tua Tagovailoa, LSU safety Grant Delpit and Stanford left tackle Walker Little.

Thomas has been consistent­ly mentioned as possible first-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft, given how well he’s played in his first two years at Georgia.

Thomas started every game as a freshman as Georgia’s right tackle and 13 games as Georgia’s left tackle as a sophomore. He was named First Team All-SEC by the coaches in 2018.

The opinion is much more split when it comes to Fromm’s NFL trajectory. Some have noted how much he does for Georgia in terms of pre-snap adjustment­s, as well as leadership qualities. But others have questions about some of his physical attributes.
