Season so far
It is early in the season for Zaire Franklin, who has played only one game totaling 71 snaps. His campaign opened with a detrimental 55.1 grade, driven down by net-negative marks against both the run (56.2) and the pass (54.6). Franklin struggled to navigate second-level blocks, repeatedly getting washed out on perimeter runs and sealed on two goal-line touchdowns. Additionally, coverage breakdowns, an open-field missed tackle, and a hard bite on play-action allowed explosive plays. Although he flashed impact potential when shooting downhill unhindered for a 3-yard tackle for loss, his negative volume heavily outweighed his stops.
