Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Jake Fromm has strung together back-to-back strong preseason performances for the Washington Commanders.

Jake Fromm looked crisp as he completed 13 of his 18 passes for 144 passing yards. He threw two touchdowns and no interceptions in Washington’s 21-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in NFL preseason Week 3.

Fromm is coming off a good performance against the Baltimore Ravens. He helped the Commanders snap Baltimore’s lengthy preseason winning streak thanks to a pair of clutch drives he orchestrated. Fromm completed 10 of 16 passes and threw for 91 yards and a touchdown in preseason Week 2.

What were Jake Fromm’s top moments in preseason Week 3? Is he worthy of a Commanders’ roster spot?

Washington's quarterback situation

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Washington has named Sam Howell as the starting quarterback. NFL veteran Jacoby Brissett is the backup. Although, Jake Fromm arguably had a more impressive preseason than Brissett.

Fromm’s preseason could be enough for Washington to justify having a third quarterback on the roster.

Fromm to the practice squad?

Commanders Wire outlines another option. The Commanders could release Fromm then re-sign him to the practice squad to give them a third quarterback. However, in this scenario Fromm could sign with another NFL team.
