Quick answer
Franklin scored 170.8 IDP (solo 1.5 / sack 4) points in 2025 (LB22). Led the NFL in tackles in 2024 with a first Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro — none of that shows up in a bare stat line, and it's why Green Bay traded for him rather than just plugging a hole after Quay Walker left. The 2026 line is modest; opportunity has to break right.
