#Broncos new WR Troy Franklin: "I don't know what to say right now. It's a dream come true. ... It's great to be back with (Bo Nix)."
Troy Franklin is my WR6. Deep threat who explodes off the line. Great ball tracking. Can be dangerous in space to evade. Quick when changing direction. Route tree is limited. Wastes a lot of movement. Sloppy when pressed Back with Bo Nix for the #Broncos #HallamAnalysis
There goes Troy Franklin to the #Broncos Him and Marvin Mims can stretch the field in that offense Him and Bo Nix had such great chemistry over the last 2 years
Troy Franklin reuniting with Bo Nix is exciting
The #DenverBroncos, after trading up select Troy Franklin. Tall and fast. Why he dipped? Not sure. Good trade up for DEN. He was a 52nd ranked WR on Miami's board, and I smell a WR run. #NFLDraft
