Why they Call Him The Franchise

THE FRANCHISE’ RASHAD ROBERTS STRIKES A HEISMAN pose en route to his first of three touchdowns in the SoCal Coyotes stunning 28-13 comeback victory over the Las Vegas Cobras. The All-American from Georgia — in another peachy performance — hauled in four catches for 137 yards and three scores for a game-record 34.5-yards per catch record, which sucked the venom out of the Cobras.

Roberts, who leads the nation in receiving yards and touchdowns, set another team record last week with a 10 catch, 215-yard, FIVE touchdown masterpiece, proving why Roberts’ teammates call him “Mr. Mayor.” “He’s so good,” says one, “he needs two nicknames, and they might not be enough.”  (Photo by Michael Mauch)
