Archie Griffin for Your Event
As a junior at Ohio State, Archie
was named to every All-American team
and was called "the greatest
football player I've ever coached"
by Woody Hayes. Combining power,
speed and an uncanny ability to
break four or five tackles on a
single play, he smashed the all-time
record for running backs in the Big
Ten, amassing 4,064 yards.
As a senior Archie extended his
record of consecutive 100-yards plus
games to 31, his overall yardage to
5,176 and became the only player
ever to win the Heisman twice.
Griffin was exceptional in several
ways. Of course, he was
magnificently consistent, grinding
out 100-plus yards week in, week
out. He was a leader on the field
and off, despite his modesty. But
most of all, Archie reflected the
high standards of the Griffin
family, which exemplified hard work,
devotion to excellence and
resilience.
After graduating early from Ohio
State with an excellent scholastic
record, Griffin was signed by the
Cincinnati Bengals. He is currently
working at his alma mater as
Associate Director of Athletics.
