It's actually pretty easy to see.

Franklin looks fast against a shit team like Hawaii but not so much a team like Oregon State.

He does not have the acceleration or throttle.

You want speed that plays fast? Give me Brian Thomas Jr.

Watch Thomas and watch Franklin.

Are you seriously going to say they play at the same speed?!

LMAO

No they don't. Franklin is clearly faster, and I bet their 40 times will make that even more clear.

Again, this isn't even a knock for people that aren't high on Franklin. It's the weirdest take on him that I've seen yet.

I expect Franklin to run a fast 40 time and to time well.

But the 40 times don't always tell you how fast they play, see John Ross who I also thought was overrated before his draft as far as how fast he would be in the NFL.

Based on what? How can you expect him to run a fast 40 time if you don't see it on tape?

Sounds like you're full of shit.

How can you watch this play and say that his speed doesn't translate?

LMAO

I'd be very surprised if Thomas Jr was faster than Franklin

Because he's not, and anybody with eyes can see that.

Hopefully the Bills or someone takes him.


No interest in him in the 1st.

So you're just not going to answer the question?

If you don't see it on the field, what makes you so confident that he's going to time well?

Thomas more explosive player, real acceleration.

Franklin not as sudden.


Someone mentioned Jaylen Waddle and Franklin.

As one of the original Waddle truthers, hell no!

I already answered it but you don't want to listen to other opinions on this guy.

Do you think John Ross played fast in the NFL?

No you didn't.

And speed was never the issue with Ross. He looked fast in the NFL too. His speed not translating is not at all why he failed.

Speed + acceleration are elite

No.

Franklin is fast as hell. Burst seems pretty good.

I get the argument tho. Skyy was lauded for his insane 10 yard time and he doesn't show it at all on the field
