2nd Round

For Kicks
Might move to safety since he lacks elite speed. He has experience at safety in college and it might make sense. He would also fit perfectly in the Cover 2 system since his superior instincts make him play at a high level in zone coverage.

At age 12, Griffin left home due to a straining relationship with his parents. He moved in with a childhood friend's family and hasn't moves back since. At 14, he was caught stealing at a music store and was put in jail for 200 days.

"I respect Cedric Griffin so much because his life has been very different than mine. He's had to make a lot of decisions on his own and fight through things on his own."
- Mack Brown, Texas Head Coach

"Most kids don't like to practice, but Cedric always wanted to line up on our best receiver. Cedric always wanted to be challenged."
- Keith Randle, DB Coach
