Griffin is most well-known among NFL fans for his four seasons with the Washington Commanders between 2012 and 2015.
Drafted second overall out of Baylor following an exceptional 2011 season, Griffin started 15 games as a rookie, being named to the Pro Bowl and the PFWA All-Rookie Team.
He finished the 2012 campaign having thrown for 3,200 yards, 20 touchdowns, and just five picks.

To date, Griffin has made 56 NFL appearances, throwing for 9,271 yards, 43 touchdowns, and 30 interceptions, while rushing for another 1,809 yards and 10 scores.
