HOOVER, Ala. — Standing tall above dozens of cameras, recorders and the media members holding them Feleipe Franks stood in a slim grey suit with shiny black shoes tied neatly. He answered questions, some repeated as new reporters walked up and re-asked things that had been asked before they joined the media scrum.
He was pleasant, which he hasn’t always been at times during his career. He joked; he opened up about meeting Gator fans around Gainesville and how much joy it brings him to see how happy they are now. He talked about his baby niece Jade, who was at every practice this spring and then in her uncle’s arms after practice.
