Franklin played high school football with the Atlantic Eagles. They were eliminated three consecutive years in the FHSAA Class 5A playoffs by St. Thomas Aquinas from 2004 to 2006. He was involved in the final game ever held at Hilltopper Stadium in 2005 when they lost to the Raiders.
He then attended the University of Miami and was an offensive lineman for the Hurricanes. Franklin was with the Canes from 2007 to 2010 and played 51 games.
Franklin was selected in the second round by the Denver Broncos in the 2011 NFL Draft. He helped the Broncos win the 2013 AFC Championship and lost Super Bowl 48 to the Seattle Seahawks.
After four seasons with Denver, he signed with the San Diego Chargers in 2015 and stayed there for two years. He played his final season in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints and Washington Redskins in 2017.
