Justin Fields vs. Jake Fromm: Fans react to second-half QB matchup in Bears-Bills game
By Adam Spencer
Published:
During their time at Georgia, Jake Fromm beat out Justin Fields for the starting quarterback job.
That prompted Fields to transfer to Ohio State, where he ended up becoming a superstar and a first-round pick of the Chicago Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, Fromm is looking to lock down the QB3 spot for the Buffalo Bills.
On Saturday afternoon, those 2 former Bulldogs met on the field again, as Fields and Fromm both started the second half for their respective teams.
Fields has a big hole to dig out of, as the Bears trailed 34-6 at halftime.
Naturally, college football fans and media were excited to see Fromm and Fields square off against one another, even if it was just an NFL preseason game:
