Dennis Franks, the Eagles' backup center from 1976 to 1978, passed away on October 16, 2021 at age 68.
Franks played in every game during his 3 seasons with the Birds (starting once), and also played for the Lions in 1979.
He is probably best remembered as a character in the Vince Papale movie "Invincible", where he is portrayed as the veteran who finally takes Papale under his wing. In reality, Franks was also a rookie that year.
