Finding tall receivers with speed, hands, flexibility, the ability to get separation, and the strength to block are a rare commodity. We've had a number of tall receivers who didn't pan out for various reasons. Its not that Franklin is tall receiver adverse.

He shows a lot of agility for a tall kid. I think the speed will improve with time in the S & C program.
