From outside of the Florida Gators locker room the perception of Feleipe Franks was turbulent, to put it mildly. Franks won games, and his “heave to Cleve” will live in Florida Gator lore long after he’s done playing football.
Then there were interceptions, missed plays, tweets sent and deleted, and a very famous gesture to his own fans during a win over South Carolina. He doubled back on it and made the gesture again.
He’s grown up a lot and he’s been through a lot. His relationship with and most likely his perception from his former fan base may have softened some now that Franks is throwing passes for another team, but his former teammates miss him.
