General ‘box-score pundits’ may not agree, but if you take a look at the film, you’ll see what ESPN’s David Hale is talking about when he pegged USC Trojans cornerback Olaijah Griffin as a potential breakout star for 2020.
Griffin, though he didn’t make any interceptions a season ago, he still make a big impact in the pass game. He broke up nine passes and had multiple other forced incompletions into his primary coverage. He allowed a completion percentage of just 42.6% on throws his way and didn’t give up a catch in three separate games that he was targeted.
