Franklin was a bad fit in Lou Anarumo's defense in 2025 and it showed, although he still managed 125 total tackles. The Packers may have just given up a bag of Dill Pickle Cheetos to get him, but Fraklin will wear the green dot in Green Bay and led the league in tackles in the long-ago days of two years ago.
