Broncos showing interest in Air Force TE Garrett Griffin

2016 NFL Draft: The Denver Broncos are reportedly showing interest in Air Force Falcons TE/LS Garrett Griffin, who would be a late round option…

The Denver Broncos are going to explore any and all options available to them in the 2016 NFL Draft, and Air Force Falcons tight end Garrett Griffin is part of the equation…

Griffin can do a little bit of everything, including long snapping, and the Broncos are obviously always in the market for more tight end prospects. This is a guy who not only can catch passes as a tight end, but he’s a versatile weapon who can also play special teams.

He had a nice showing at a March 10th pro day where he ran a 4.75 at 6-4, 237 pounds with a 36-inch vertical leap. He caught just 41 passes in the last three seasons in Air Force’s unique offense, but eight of them went for touchdowns. His coaches also laud his ability to seal the edge and be a physical blocker in the running game.

"“He’s been huge at the point of attack in the blocking game,” offensive coordinator Mike Thiessen said. “He’s physical, he’s athletic, he’s powerful, he can handle big-time players, which (Utah State had). Kyle Fackrell over there was a big-time player, he handled him.”"

For the Broncos, Griffin would likely be a developmental prospect. He might have the skills they are looking for in an H-back/fullback and the fact that he doubles as a long-snapper is also a huge positive going in his favor. Look out for him in the late-round, UDFA period.
