Draft Rewind 2013 – Johnathan Franklin – Green Bay Packers

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about JOHNATHAN FRANKLIN: UCLA, 5100 205 4.49. Four-year starter who holds the Bruins’ record for career rushing yards with 4403. Has been durable over his career despite his size. A competitor who is smart and works hard. Good vision, burst, and speed. Finds the seam in the defense and exploits it. A darter who is strong and nimble footed. Good overall run talent inside and outside. Productive as a runner. Can create and avoid tacklers. Plays with a low pad level and balance. Soft hands. A willing blocker who can anchor and hold his ground. Needs to work on his upper and lower body thickness. Must continue working on his hands to catch swing passes and check downs. His pass receiving routes could be sharper. Ball security was a problem early in his career. 2012 stats: 1734 yds, 6.1 ypc, 13 TD, 33 rec, 323 yds, 2 TD. OSR:11/ 34. Third/fourth round. (A-30, H-9 3/8, BP-18, SS-4.31).
