As a running back he shows a physical running style. When he hits the hole, he is hard to bring down and then when he gets into the open field, he is off to the races. As a wide receiver, he showed he can catch the ball and make defenders miss in space.

He stands 6'5 inches tall and weighs 300 pounds. He moves well for an offensive lineman who is that big. He several times in his film shows he can run out and block in open space. In the run game, he is a big-time mauler who dominates defensive linemen in the trenches. As a pass blocker, he moves his feet well and stays in front of defenders. He can get a little stiff, but with more playing time he should get better at that. Franklin is a good offensive lineman prospect.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662ef2313ffd6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155881"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1155881' first='Ethan' last='Kresinski'] is an intriguing offensive weapon at tight end.

He does an excellent job of reading his keys, and then triggering downhill to make plays. He is a good tackler, who rarely misses a tackle. Anderson does a good job of getting off blocks and then making plays against the offense. Anderson is a physical player who makes plays all over the field. He does a good job running sideline-to-sideline to make plays. Anderson is a good linebacker, and I am excited to see him play next yearu0022.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662f9b021281b"} /-->
