I'm guessing he goes undrafted.

Derrick Griffin leaves TSU to prepare for NFL draft

The writing on the wall was too much to ignore for Texas Southern's Derrick Griffin.

The dual-sport phenom announced his next step by leaving the Texas Southern men's basketball team to declare for the NFL Draft.

Griffin was a member of the TSU football team before being dismissed in September for breaking team rules, but he was still eligible to play basketball this season.

He signed with veteran NFL agent James "Bus" Cook, who has had notable clients like Brett Favre, Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, Jay Cutler and Russell Wilson. Griffin plans to continue taking classes in addition to training for a Pro Day and a hopeful invite to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.


"It was time for me to go," Griffin said. "Too many signs. I've been waiting on it."

Never heard of him but his size is intriguing. Might be a worthwhile gamble in the late rounds and prime PS candidate. Anyone see him play?

Another TE project. He was a monster in high school. I remember he almost ended up at A&M and Miami but he had some grade issues.

Wouldn't mind using one of our 7th round picks on him

Freak athlete. I'd take a shot 7th round or UDFA if his head's on right. Academics have been an issue at beginning of college career and was dismissed from team the end of this year I believe.
