During his 7 NFL seasons, he rushed for 2808 yards and 7 touchdowns, and caught 192 passes for 1607 yards and 6 touchdowns. Griffin struggled throughout his professional career, rushing for 100 yards or more in only three games and failing to record a 700-yard season :-(
I was a big Archie Griffen fan. I owned a scarlet #45 jersey before I ever owned any Bengal gear. But I watched how Griffen ran between the tackles all the time in college and thought he would have a tough time transferring that game to the NFL.
