Chiefs Rookie WR Will Franklin Has Chance To Start

[Sweets]

Chiefs are cheered by the early play from Will Franklin, their fourth-round draft pick from Missouri. While it’s probably going too far to say Franklin was a star last week, the first week of offseason practice for the Chiefs, he certainly didn’t look as if he were lost. Franklin instead looked as if he belonged. “He’s really quick making his moves, and he’s got really strong hands,” said quarterback Damon Huard, who now in his 12th NFL season has seen more than a few rookie receivers come and go. “He’s dropped a couple of passes, but everyone’s dropped a couple. As a rookie receiver, it’s always tough for those guys coming into a situation like this. But he’s got the skills to be a special player. If he works hard at it, he will.” Jeff Webb and Devard Darling are currently heading the line to be the starting wide receiver opposite Bowe. It’s not inconceivable Franklin could beat them out.
