Feleipe Franks was a star quarterback at Florida and Arkansas during his college career. But, to try to make it in the NFL, he’s taking some reps at tight end.
He was doing some work at the position this week for the Atlanta Falcons, and he turned in quite a highlight.
As you can see below, Franks caught a pass and absolutely leveled a defender who attempted to tackle him. He even gave a little flex after:

Franks is obviously a quarterback by trade, but he’ll start the fall behind veteran Marcus Mariota and rookie Desmond Ridder on the Falcons’ QB depth chart.
If he can keep contributing at tight end, though, he might work his way onto the 53-man roster for Week 1.
