At both offensive and defensive line positions, he has excellent traits. At the defensive line, he explodes off the ball. His get-off is special. His ability to get in the offensive backfield and cause issues for the offense is impressive. On the offensive line of the ball, he played as a guard. In that position, he did a great job of firing off and blocking defensive linemen. He is excellent at pulling and kicking out defenders. He also shows off his athleticism by going downhill to block defenders at the next level.

He is excellent on zone run-blocking plays by taking his outside steps and pinning defensive ends inside. He moves his feet well and this comes in handy with his ability to pass block. Franklin is a good offensive tackle who continues to get better every year.
