Menlo-Atherton’s Troy Franklin selected by Broncos in fourth round of NFL Draft

Troy Franklin had to wait a little longer than he’d hoped, but will join up with a familiar face after being drafted Saturday by the Denver Broncos.

Franklin, an East Palo Alto product who played at Menlo-Atherton and collegiately at Oregon, was an early Day 3 selection in the fourth round, No. 102 overall. Denver also took Franklin’s college quarterback, Bo Nix, with the 12th overall pick in Friday’s first round.

“I don’t even know what to say right now,” Franklin told reporters in Denver.
