What started out as a fun story during the relative doldrums of organized team activities has steadily morphed into one that can’t be ignored – the Atlanta Falcons might have found something in Feleipe Franks at tight end.
The second-year player has always had some crossover potential – he played a handful of snaps at tight end last season – but it’s notable how quickly the former college quarterback has taken to his new position. While Franks is listed at 228 pounds, a fairly light number for a tight end, he is also 6-foot-6 with the height and length to give defenders plenty of problems.
