But that fails to take into account the fact that he was surrounded by talent all over the field, and Mizzou uses everyone equally in their offense so Franklin couldn't put up the big numbers like other WRs. He has great size, strength, and as you can see from his 40 time, he has speed too. I would not mind one bit if the Chiefs took him in round 3, especially after his performance last weekend at the combine. The big knock on Franklin is that he didn’t put up big numbers at Mizzou.
