Auburn’s John Franklin III gives himself ‘Slash 2.0’ moniker

Auburn’s John Franklin III is working hard this off-season. The former JUCO transfer has taken reps at both quarterback and wide receiver this off-season leading up to his final year of eligibility.

Though he struggled during limited action at quarterback in 2016, Franklin does posses a natural athletic ability that could provide a spark to Auburn’s offense. Those skills were on display during a video he shared via Twitter on Wednesday in which showed highlights from his junior season as well as some of his off-season workouts with Fit Factory in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
