Looks like Thad says he’s locked in! (New article)

Am I crazy or does he look slow? Maybe I’m wrong

He certainly isn’t a burner, but he isn’t slow either. Has a good burst and is a load to bring down.

Oh he's definitely slow. I didn't see quick feet or a burst either.

He’s fast enough, plus he’s a sledgehammer! We need that on our offense, we have two speedsters to complement the sledgehammer with!

Just don’t see it with him. Maybe I have no clue what I’m looking at, but dude seems too slow to be a feature back on a major D1 team. I get it, he put up big numbers in Dade County, but so did Joe Yearby.

Define crazy.

He is big for high school, but I dont think he is THAT big when he hits college where he can be like this..

DAT ***** LOOOK SLOW AF

Need to make a rule no bumping threads from players we are wavering on losing. I'm conditioned to expect bad things when I open these up. Also somebody tell me to stfu.

STFU

And Yearby ran for 1,000 plus one season too

Is he still nursing a leg injury? That could explain some of the quickness issues.

 

[Deleted member 26015]

Franklin is 6'0, 225. Very few running backs with that kind of build are burners in high school.

Get him into Feeleys hands and he will look like a different player.

You telling me Yearby was a good college RB?

His tape looked better last year. I'm sure these kids aren't in top shape this season with all the covid BS.

 

[Matthew_Suero]

Are we really going to overreact to a two minute highlight tape from a game where he was playing with an injury? Even there he’s not slow he just doesn’t play like Chaney and Knighton. He’s a different kind of back.

If Bama ain't calling for a big bruiser like him then something is wrong. They went hard after Henry and these are usually there type of backs. I would still take him cause he's good enough to power through ACC comp. It's not like he will be a featured back. We are loaded

When the opponent is gassed this is the type of guy that demoralizes them and takes there soul.

Take for me

Dude you must rub one out to pics of Nick Saban on the regular. Never seen anyone include something about Bama or the SEC in 90% of his posts.

JFC take a break.

 

[DMoney]

Franklin ran for 129 yards and 2 TDs in that game. For a guy who is so slow, he seems to break long runs every game against stacked boxes from the best teams in the state.

Parcells said it best: RBs come in all shapes and sizes. Look at the production. This is one of the most productive backs in Florida history, 6'1, 225 with basketball coordination and incredible feet.

 

[L A M P]

Looked a bit lazy (loafing) but I saw a big guy who was extremely quick off the ball. Top end was never going to be there. Lendale White, not Derrick Henry
