Four Huskies entered; two advanced. Wild Card Weekend has come and gone, and we bid farewell to two of the more prominent UConn players in the NFL.
Expectations were high for tight end Ryan Griffin. With the retirement of C.J. Fiedorowicz at the end of the 2017-18 season, the stage was set for Griffin to take on a starting role with the Houston Texans.
After a difficult start to the season, Houston battled their way to an 11-5 record with Griffin starting all but five games for the Texans at tight end. Plagued by a mid-season injury and a timeshare with two hungry rookies, his numbers were a bit more pedestrian than many expected, finishing the year with 23 receptions for 299 yards.
