From there he was selected by the Orlando Thunder in the fourth round of the 1992 WLAF Draft.[7]

In 1993 he once again was with the Seahawks through training camp, but was again released late in the pre-season.[9][10]

He then embarked on a long career in the CFL, beginning with the Sacramento Gold Miners in 1994[11] and the San Antonio Texans in 1995.[12]

He later played with the Edmonton Eskimos, from 1996 to 1998,[13] and after a three-year retirement,[14] from 2002 to 2006.[13] He was an all star in 2004.[15] At the end of the 2006 season Frank retired[16] and now resides in Houston, Texas as a successful CB coach for the Channelview Falcons.
