Bills coach Sean McDermott says Jake Fromm continues to communicate with teammates after controversial texts
Former Georgia QB Jake Fromm found himself in the middle of a controversy recently, as texts messages emerged in which he used the phrase “elite white people.”
Now a fifth-round pick with the Buffalo Bills, Fromm has apologized to his teammates, but according to coach Sean McDermott, the healing process continues.
Speaking with ESPN, McDermott praised Fromm for the communication he’s had with teammates so far, but said the process of earning their trust back will be ongoing:
“Jake’s situation is certainly one that we’ve taken very seriously,” McDermott said. “Jake did a very good job of communicating to the team on more than one occasion … and that has to continue.
“Right now it’s, where do we go from here? Jake has to continue to earn it. … There’s going to be players who are going to be wanting to see how Jake acts and reacts in certain situations. Not just on the field but off the field.
“They’re going to have a chance to evaluate Jake not only on the field but off the field, and that will be an important piece.”
Fromm is expected to compete for the backup quarterback spot behind starter Josh Allen this season. We’ll see how that competition goes when players are able to return to the field.
What he said was not a good look even if it was said jokingly.
That being said, how long before he gets tired of saying ‘I’m sorry’, and how much resentment will build from that?
It will be interesting to watch if and how long before the PC crowd overplays their hand.
And of course we ARE the most racist team in the SEC.
Cross the privileged left and the groveling, bowing and scraping never end.
By “privilege left” do you mean teammates? Because the story I read was talking about his teammates not a political ideology. Not everything is about Left vs Right. He plays on a team that is majority black. You don’t think what he said raised some eyebrows with them? If he handles himself the way he should he’ll be fine.
So true. Best to never start.
This isn’t about racism. It’s a street scam run by panhandlers.
It’s about control.
Only the low IQ don’t see it.
Only the dishonest won’t admit it.
You’re just another enema nozzle redneck.
Definition of redneck: derogatory, racial slur. A rural working class uneducated white person. A political reactionary. Using a racial slur to insult someone on an article about racial insensitivity is beyond ironic.
If you read ALL the tweets it was evident he was playing with a liberidiot and simply posted an absurd tweet that any INTELLIGENT person could see that it was in jest! This was all just another libermedia crapfest!
What tweets?
Forgive and move on… no need to let it simmer and cause conflict.. even Adults act like kids sometimes.. some can apologize for a mistake, some won’t.. some will forgive, some won’t..
That’s not the woke liberal supremacist style. Once you mess up you’re done.
No secret he’s arrogant. I hope his apology is heartfelt.
Fromm is arrogant??? Examples? He’s always seemed pretty humble to me.
It’s a secret to me. I have never heard close to that. No reason to think the apology isn’t heartfelt.
Bet he doesn’t make it out of training camp
