Franklin, Orlando Miami 6054 315 5.12
Three-year starter with long arms and big hands. Strong hands
to grab the steering wheel and drive the defender into the ground.
Has some violence in his game. Plays left and also has experience
at right tackle and left guard. Good punch. Explosive in his play.
Leaks through and seals linebackers on the second level. A knee
bender with a solid lower body that is flexible and hard to knock
off his feet. Good body control. Possesses the size, strength,
balance, and base to anchor against power. A good use of his
active hands but will lobster grab a defender outside the frame at
times. A good athlete with foot quickness, body control, recovery
in pass protection. Slides and moves his light feet. Shadows the
pass rusher. Can be explosive out of his stance but comes off slow
at times. May lose concentration. Has the talent to be an eventual
starter if he gets stronger and stays technique sound.
