BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Jake Fromm apologized for using the phrase "elite white people" in a text conversation from more than a year ago, and posted on social media early Thursday morning.
The former Georgia starter posted his apology on his Twitter account, in which he wrote: "I'm truly sorry for my words and actions and humbly ask for forgiveness."
In saying he never meant to imply he was an elite white male, which he noted during the text conversation, Fromm added: "There's no excuse for that word choice and sentiment. While it was poor, my heart is not.
