To me Griffin looks closer to 6-0/200 than 6-3/210, so it'll be interesting to see what his combine measurements are when he does come out. I don't think his talk about trying to make the 2012 Olympic track team will help his draft status; NFL teams consider QB to be a full time job so he's probably going to have to make a decision. His passing numbers (ratio-wise, not totals) are generally better than Kevin Kolb's UH stats in the same or a very similar Art Briles offense. Kolb did have better yards per completion (13.45 to 12.29) and per attempt (8.28 to 8.25) which suggests that Griffin's ridiculous completion percentage benefits from his going more to the shorter routes.
Maybe my maroon bias is showing, but I think Ryan Tannehill would be a great fit in Kubiak's offense. He'd be tough on the bootlegs the Texans love to run.
