Okay - he doesn't need a sports psychologist - just someone who can tell him to squeeze his fingers on the ball as it whistles through his hands. Nix is looking after him -though. I'd like Tez Johnson on the Broncos.
I don't think he needs a sports psychologist. He just needs to stop overthinking. There is some hesitation to his game at times. It happens for a lot of rookies that struggle year 1 then year 2 emerge because they feel much more prepared for the system and NFL speed. It is why I thiunk a lot of people were hoping he would get a red shirt year then emerge next season. He has had to step up because of the Reynolds injury and just lack of production from other WR's though.
He’s a 4th round pick in his rookie year so the drops are ok for now. Now if we‘re in year 3 and he’s still having these issues we have a problem.Agree. Franklin needs the game to slow down a bit for him just like any other rookie. He gets open very well and that is a huge step.. Now we need the concentratio on the deep passes. He should have caught the two deep passes this year but they also weren't "gimme" catches, if he catches 1 out of the 2 I think people are good with it. Now that he dropped both people will be dramatic about it. Both drops came at a time when we were beating our opponent pretty well so neither hurt us at least. You can tell he is about to take off... I also think Mims may play a larger role against teams like the Ravens and Chiefs where we may have to pull more out of the bag against those teams.
