Scouting Report: Strengths
- His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
- He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and Griffith shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. Griffith plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
- Flashes strength at the point of attack with active, violent hand use. Forceful with his upper body to defeat blocks. Strong hustle player.
- Aggressive with good awareness to track the ball and attack. Tenacious, tough, competItIve and versatile.
- Griffith shows impressive burst and enough quickness to occasionally threaten the edge as a pass rusher.
- Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Griffith doesn’t move well laterally and doesn’t have a lot of range when it comes to pursuing on the backside.
- Griffith lacks ideal length for an edge rusher, and he’d be on the small side for the interior with a little more room on his frame to add weight
- Misses tackles, even when Griffith gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
