Even though he has shown improvement from game to game, Feleipe Franks probably still has his doubters out there. But it might be hard to find any among his teammates, based on the positive comments that have been made dating back to camp and throughout the early part of the season.

The latest pro-Franks comments come from junior wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland.

“I feel like he’s playing faster, he’s playing with more confidence,” Cleveland said of Franks. “That’s the big thing, he’s playing with a lot of confidence. And when he plays with confidence, nobody can stop him. He plays with confidence, he’s the best quarterback in the SEC.”

Cleveland said he’s seen tremendous growth in Franks, and that the team is growing with him.

“Oh he’s grown tremendously,” Cleveland said. “Just him being able to pick up Coach Mullen’s offense very fast, very quick. And being a leader, he’s being more of a leader on the team. He’s just telling us to keep working, keep fighting and get open, and just trust him. And that’s key, trusting him.

“He’s bringing us along. The team’s got his back at all

times. When he makes a bad play, we’re all there patting him on the back.
