James Franklin believes that the game of football is “being challenged at every corner.”

Franklin spoke at the National Football Foundation’s Central Pennsylvania Chapter banquet, addressing a crowd of high school coaches, players and family members at the Penn Stater Hotel & Conference Center on Sunday. His message was brief, about three-and-a-half minutes. Like his 2017 appearance, Franklin applauded the lessons learned playing and coaching football.
