From all I have read, the young man was a class act! From Packers players to coach McCarthy, Franklin made a positive impact in just one year with the Packers! My Packer Buddies and I were at the Bengal game, where Franklin ran for over 100 yards against a tough defense! One of his final statements:
Class act! It is a shame to see this found athlete not get a shot in the NFL, but in the game of life he is already a winner!
The remaining Packer running backs on the roster:
Eddie Lacy
James Starks
DuJuan Harris
Michael Hill
Rajion Neal
LaDarius Perkins
Eddie Lacy -Year 2 - 5'11" - 230 lbs. - Alabama
What a great rookie season! 1,178 yards! I will say that again 1,178 yards! Again, a few years back we were begging for someone to run for 1000 yards! 4.1 yards a carry and 11 TD's! If you were at any back games, Eddies ran TOUGH! The defense does not like to tackle Eddie Lacy! He is a downhill runner, but has a spurt to run to daylight! And gives an awesome interview! I see more great things to come for Eddie Lacy!
James Starks - Year 5 - 6'2" - 218 lbs. - Buffalo
Another running back that had a great season in 2013! Coming off the bench giving Lacy a rest James had 493 yards & 3 TD's! And a better average than Eddie - Starks averaged 5.5 yards per carry. A taller runner at 6'2" & 218 pounds Starks also punishes people! And he a his own unique running style that defenders must deal with each game! Great 1-2 running back punch!
DuJuan Harris - Year 2 - 5'8" - 203 lbs. - Troy
At the start on 2013 the Packers starting running back! BUT, that darn injury bug! In the 2012 season Harris had a few great games! The best thing about Harris' style of running is he runs ANGRY! I LIKE THAT! If he stays healthy, my humble prediction . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Packers have the BEST 1-2-3 punch at running back in the league!!!
Michael Hill - Year 2 - 5'10" - 210 lbs - Missouri Western
Played a few games for Tampa & the Packers last year & contributed on special teams. Check out his interview last year when he dressed for his first game! If the three running backs above stay healthy I see Hill slated for the practice squad at best.
Rajion Neal - Rookie - 5'11" - 220 lbs - Tennessee
At Tennessee Neal rushed for over 1000 yards, 12 TD's and 5.2 yards per carry. See him in a battle for the Packer practice squad. By the way, he looks good in glasses! Check out his Tennessee Bio!
LaDarius Perkins - Rookie - 5'7" - 195 lbs - Mississippi State
Another running back trying to stick. Looks like more of break away threat & muti-purpose runner, runny, pass catching & returns!
Final roster - Lacy, Starks, & Harris! But, pre-season game injuries, others may stick!
