Orlando Franklin throwing his weight around

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Broncos rookie right tackle Orlando Franklin is keeping it simple, trying to fend off onrushing defensive players one play, then attempting to send them reeling backward the next.

"I try to bring as much physicality to the game as possible," Franklin said.

It was that same, nasty demeanor that initially piqued the Broncos' interest while breaking down Franklin's game tapes at the University of Miami before the draft. The team saw a player who wasn't afraid to mix it up and throw his substantial weight around — 330 pounds in all on a 6-foot-7 frame.
