Need help for my daughter's report re: Jake Fromm

cusedawg

My seven-year-old daughter picked Jake Fromm to do a report about leadership. We have researched a number of his stats and performance highlights both on the baseball field and the Gridiron.
What I want her to know is that he is a good person and a leader off the field as well. I have found a few instances where he has volunteered his time to help kids, do any of you have any further Insight or references for any of his off-the-field volunteering?

Thank you so much in advance.

I’m not sure if you’re being facetious and I don’t want to come across as too harsh, but a face-to-face interview for a 7 year old’s research project is borderline asinine.

Wait...Jake Fromm played in the little league World Series?!

Yeah I saw his documentary on ESPN and SEC Network. He was also on a recruiting commercial as well and Justin Fields is on the latest one.

Are you referring to QB1 - Beyond the Lights?

I'm so old I had to go to the World Book Encyclopedia for my reports in grade school.

As for Eason, it is obvious that he had an adjustment period, but he developed into a really good teammate under some tough circumstances. I noticed on twitter his profile picture is still him in his Georgia uniform and he retweeted a post about a friend of his on the Georgia baseball team.

The QB room is not empty at Washington and they recruited a top level QB in this class. The style of offense will be a better fit for him and provide his family a much lighter travel schedule to follow him. I hope he has great success.

Unfortunately for your daughter's report, much of what makes Fromm a great leader are intangibles and not really quantifiable. I like some of the anecdotal stories you've already found but to me what makes him a great leader is watching the players around him. The way they respond to him, and interact with him shows a level of respect and trust not normally afforded a true freshman. He also did something very few young QBs did...he didn't allow failure to influence his game. Watch replays of him throwing an interception and his body language afterward. He didn't hang his head, he jogged off, got on the phone and kept his chin up. Other players see that and feed off it. Also the moment was never too big...I honestly have never seen a freshman QB be so calm and cool under the brightest lights and on the biggest stages. THAT (the intangibles) is what made him a great leader...and what will make it tough for Justin Fields to take his job.

Thanks for bringing that up. I would guess almost half of those here never had to research only through hard copies such as encyclopedias. If you didn't have the latest version at home, you hoped the library had it. People take research for granted these days., however more information is available in a nano second....and they still grip.

Yes, Boro. He was joking. I was joking too in my response to him.

Ha! She would probably have a heart attack!
