Griffin, ⁤known for his explosive kick returns, averaged 30.8 yards per return in college, ranking second all-time in the SEC.Despite ‌being released by the Las Vegas Raiders ⁤and spending time on the Cleveland Browns’ practice squad, Griffin’s playmaking ability could add⁤ a new dimension to Green Bay’s‍ offense.
