Broncos behemoth, Orlando Franklin, facing a big test
Offensive tackle Orlando Franklin key in keeping Ravens off Peyton Manning
By ROB LONGLEY, QMI Agency

By most accounts, Orlando Franklin had a respectable rookie season with the Denver Broncos.

The Toronto-raised behemoth started all 16 regular-season games in this football-crazy town and got a taste of the NFL playoffs as part of Tebow-mania.

A year later though, it’s graduate school at the right tackle position. The Broncos under Tim Tebow were a novelty act. The Broncos under Peyton Manning are Super Bowl favourites heading into Saturday’s divisional-round matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.













Is first round pick Eric Fisher a decent choice by the Kansas City Chiefs?
  Yes.
  No.
  He has to prove himself before I decide.
