Timeline

1982

Cedric Leonard Griffin (born November 11, 1982) is a former American football cornerback in the National Football League (NFL).

1995

Griffin is the highest-drafted defensive back chosen by the Vikings since Orlando Thomas (number 42 overall) was selected in 1995.

Counting Griffin, the Vikings have taken five players over the past five NFL drafts who have come into the NFL with a college national championship to their credit.

2000

He was an All-State Class 5A defensive back in 2000, his senior season.

He also played as a wide receiver and accumulated yards rushing and in kick-off and punt returns.

As a cornerback, he made 26 tackles and seven interceptions.

As a wide receiver, he caught eight passes for 202 yards, including two touchdowns.

The same year, he rushed for 198 yards, made a 90-yard kickoff return and returned two punts for 95 yards against Taft High.

Griffin played in the first ever U.S. Army All-American Bowl on December 30, 2000.

In addition to football, he competed in track.

While playing at Holmes High School, Griffin was a part of a State Semifinalist squad that fell one game short of the State Championship.

Other standout athletes who played with Griffin on the Holmes football squad include Olympic Gold Medalist in 4 × 400 meter relay Darold Williamson, Robert Quiroga of the Arena Football League, standout defensive tackle at Baylor University Michael Gary, and Division II All-American quarterback from Texas Lutheran University Sean Salinas.

After redshirting his freshman year, Griffin played in all 51 games over the next four years, including 44 games as a starter.

He recorded 271 tackles (170 solo tackles), broke up 32 passes (ranking in the school's top 15 for pass deflections) and intercepted three others for 29 yards in interception return yards.

2002

In 2002, Griffin became the first UT player ever to return a blocked field goal for a touchdown, when he returned one 56 yards at Tulane University.

The others (with school and draft year) are Bryant McKinnie (University of Miami – 2002), Kenechi Udeze (University of Southern California – 2004), Darrion Scott (Ohio State University – 2004), Dustin Fox (Ohio State University – 2005), and Percy Harvin (University of Florida – 2009).

Griffin came into training camp with the expectation of being the team's nickel or dime back (3rd or 4th cornerback).

When second year man Dovonte Edwards went down with a broken arm in the preseason many people believe it would be Griffin who would step into the Nickelback role that was vacated by Edwards when he went down with an injury.

Instead the Vikings chose to go with Ronyell Whitaker.

Griffin began getting more and more playing time as the season played on, eventually Griffin overtook a starting cornerback spot from prized free agent signing from two years earlier Fred Smoot.

Griffin played well as a rookie and impressed the coaching staff.

He recorded his first career interception against the Detroit Lions.

2004

As a junior, he was tabbed honorable mention All-Big 12 by the conference coaches for 2004.

2005

He played college football at the University of Texas, where he was a stand-out performer on the 2005 national championship team.

Griffin played football at Oliver Wendell Holmes High School in San Antonio, Texas under the direction of head coach David Sanchez.

As a senior on UT's 2005 National Championship team, he was a key part of the UT pass defense that ranked eighth in the nation in yards allowed by game (172.0) and fourth in the nation in pass efficiency defense (96.7 rating).

In Texas' 41-38 victory over USC for the National Championship Game, he made 8 tackles, including 6 solo tackles.

Defensive statistics:

Griffin was selected in the second round (number 48 overall) by the Minnesota Vikings.

According to the UT football website:

2006

He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft.

Griffin joins Michael Huff (No. 7 overall) as the second Longhorn defensive back chosen in the 2006 draft, marking the first time since 1997 two have been selected in the same draft when Bryant Westbrook was chosen by the Detroit Lions in the first round and Taje Allen was picked by the St. Louis Rams in the fifth round... Along with Huff, Griffin's selection gives the Longhorns a defensive back selection in four of the past five drafts... Griffin is the first Longhorn selected by the Vikings since DT John Haines in 1984.

The Longhorns have now had at least three players drafted in each of the last four years.

2007

2008

But in 2008, he played well, recording over 100 tackles and one interception.

2009

He was due to be a free agent after 2009 season.

But on March 21, 2009, the Vikings re-signed Griffin to a five-year contract for a total of a little more than $25 million.

The contract contained $10 million in guaranteed money.

In 2009, he led the team with 4 interceptions, while recording 78 tackles and forcing three fumbles.

The Vikings made it all the way to the NFC Championship against the New Orleans Saints.
