He’s really only suited to be a weak side LB due to his size and some difficulty getting off blocks but would you take a flier on him in the later rounds?
Agreed.
From the highlights I've seen ... he does a more with less (one hand) than a most do with two hands. Acceleration & has second gear giddy up. XM NFL radio analyst (I think it was Kirwin) seem to believe that Griffin will transition to the safety position at the next level. He is by no means just a "feel good story" ... he is a baller & has unique skills.
Would I take a flyer on him in the later rounds? Absolutely.
