Jake Fromm has released a statement on Twitter regarding his alleged “elite white people” text message that leaked.
The former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback, taken in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, has confirmed that the text message is real. Fromm has taken to Twitter to apologize for it.
“I am extremely sorry that I chose to use the words ‘elite white people’ in a text message conversation,” Fromm wrote. “Although I never meant to imply that I am an elite white person,’ as stated later in the conversation, there’s no excuse for that word choice and sentiment.”
Fromm added that his message was poor, but his heart is not. The former Bulldogs star said he spoke with his teammates and coaches today and hopes they accept his apology.
