But, with such a strong pro career, I still think it's a little weird UGA doesn't claim him more.
Meh. Terrell Davis was an NFL star but didn't do much here. We tend to really memorialize the ones that accomplished a lot while on campus. But like you said I don't know why fran doesn't have a stronger legacy.
One of the best little-known stories from our history is in the '59 auburn game which won us the SEC title. It was a 4th down late in the game with us trailing. Fran gathered up our huddle and literally drew up a play in the grass which we completed for a TD.

Been a fan of Fran for a long time. He was fun to watch in the NFL with his scrambling abilities, so it's interesting to read what UGA fans think of him.
