They went to the Rice pro day to check out Griffin. He's the 6'7" TE/basketball player who got tossed from the Texas Southern football team in the fall.
His AA is impressive but he didn't show it at the pro day. Blamed a bad leg on it. Only jumped 31" which is suprising for a guy who bangs his head on the rim. Maybe the leg was a real problem although he also came in about 15lbs heavier than his playing weight.
After the workout, one scout said he's going undrafted. He will workout again in 2 weeks. If the leg is ok I would expect a great workout and he'll get drafted. Late round or undrafted, he may become the biggest steal in the draft.
A lot of talented TE prospects in this draft. Athletically he measures up to all of them. But he keeps shooting himself in the foot and could blow it all.

Even if so, is there any harm taking a flier on this kid as an UDFA?
We need a mismatch at TE. If things don't fall our way with a TE early, id like to take a shot late on Griffin.

Can do WHAT!?
"the football ricocheted off his hands and fell to the ground"
And if you page through the photos, #4 shows him executing a perfect summersault with his head aimed precisely at the ground.
A truly worthy successor to Levitating Larry the Leaping Legend. Sure to be a waste of a roster spot for many years to come.
That's brilliant.

Hey, it's not a great endorsement. I only know what I read and see, and the article said he did noting.
Dropping passes and landing on your head is just too damn familiar.
