Franks Likes His Position as a Green & White TE

[Silversword55]

After eight productive seasons in Green Bay, Bubba Franks is excited about the possibilities of his new job with the New York Jets.

“I’m going on my ninth season now and I’ve never been really featured in the offense — I was just part of the offense,” he told newyorkjets.com this afternoon. “The Jets mainly kind of focus on the tight end. They go from the tight end out whereas the Packers were more outside in. I’m looking forward to this opportunity I have and hopefully I can score a bunch of touchdowns.”

He’s already scored a bunch — 32 if you’re keeping score at home. That TD total along with his 256 career receptions both rank second among tight ends in Green Bay history. Franks is pleased with the early results from the Jets’ OTA workouts.

“So far, so good. I’m learning the system. It seems like I’m picking it up pretty fast, so I’m happy right now,” he said. “I’m in a great mood and with the options we have as an offense, we look pretty good so far. We need to communicate a little better and I’m pretty sure we’ll all be on the same page.”
