Video: James Franklin ‘exudes character and class’

Kansas City TV station interviews parents of Christian quarterback, Cotton Bowl victor.

FOX 4 News in Kansas City, Mo., reports:

Missouri quarterback James Franklin may have critics of his game, but nobody criticizes his character. The senior is known for referring to others by ‘sir’ and ‘ma’am’ and makes friends with most of the people he meets.

Franklin’s family has helped keep him grounded and always reminded him that there are more important things than football. FOX 4′s Abby Eden shows an insight into what made Franklin both the quarterback and the man he is today.

See the full story.

Franklin, the son of former football player, missionary and renowned evangelist Willie Franklin, helped lead Missouri to a 41-31 victory over Oklahoma State University in the Cotton Bowl.
