“If Baylor wants to get back to winning and have a university that isn’t just respectable on the football field but the fans can be proud of, they need people who know what it looks like to win at Baylor,” he added.

Griffin was the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NFL draft and played for the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, retiring after the 2020 season.
