Fromm completed 13-of-18 passes for 144 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Washington’s 21-19 win over Cincinnati in the final preseason matchup.

The highlight of Fromm’s preseason came in a comeback win that snapped the Baltimore Ravens’ preseason winning streak in Week 2. Fromm finished 10-of-16 passing for 91 yards and a touchdown.

Fromm could have a long pro career if he keeps producing when given opportunities.
