ESPN Scouting Report --
Griffin is a quality running back prospect with good a good blend of size and quickness. Actually a good overall athlete who may get recruited to play in the secondary as well. Looks a bit smaller than his listed measurables but still has solid body composition and the room on his frame to continue adding bulk. Appears more quick than fast as he lacks great top-end speed and a game-breaker extra gear. Presses the hole with urgency is quick to get downhill. Runs decisively but would actually like to see him stay square to the line and get North more consistently. For a hard runner, he does a good job avoiding direct hits and can make himself thin to hit the small cutback creases. Vision and balance are good. Runs a bit high but keeps his legs and body churning through traffic and spins off a good amount of initial contact. However, he lacks a lot of power through his hips and lower-body, shed arm-tackles more than pulls through or pushes the pile. We question if he has every-down strength and the running style and frame to stay durable. He lacks great open field speed and elusiveness. A hybrid safety type on defense who has a ball-hawk mentality. Shows good range, pursuit speed and overall run support skills in the first level. Feisty and active around the ball. Shows he can blitz off the edge and find the ball through traffic. Can tackle and get over blocks but needs to continue adding size and strength to remain productive in the box. Lacks experience as a true high-point safety and we question his overall coverage skills. Blankets his underneath zone effectively but man-to-man skills and transitional experience out of a pedal are lacking. May be limited to a hybrid (in the box) or strong safety position. Overall, Griffin is a versatile, solid football player but lacks the speed and fluidity in our eyes right now to project high at the major college level as a skill prospect.
