Can the Gators win a national championship with Feleipe Franks?

Let’s talk about Feleipe Franks.

He was seventh in the SEC last year in passer rating (143.3), tied for 5th in passing touchdowns (24), 10th in yards (2,457) and only threw six interceptions.

Feleipe Franks is average.

Gator fans who consider him one of the best quarterbacks in the conference would be mistaken, and Gator fans who group his talents with the likes of Treon Harris and Jeff Driskel aren’t giving him quite enough credit. Franks will rarely wow anyone with his skills in the pocket or throw perfectly-targeted lasers, but the signal caller was still able to lead UF to its best record since 2012 and a New Year’s Six bowl victory.
