Michael Griffin says his 10-year NFL career was a blessing

NASHVILLE https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Torrey-Smith-Jersey , Tenn. (AP) that lasted far longer than some of his former teammates at the University of Texas.The two-time Pro Bowl safety officially ended that career Monday by signing a one-day contract with the Tennessee Titans and retiring with the franchise that drafted him with the 19th pick overall in 2007. Griffin, who wore No. 33 in his career, retired at the age of 33.”I can’t say enough, thank y’all, just thank y’all,” Griffin said at a news conference inside the team’s indoor practice field. ”That’s probably all I can say is just thank y’all because it’s a blessing, and I’m so thankful to have that opportunity for the last nine years to play for this organization.”Griffin started 10 games as a rookie and played 141 games over nine seasons with Tennessee Dontari Poe Color Rush Jersey , including 103 straight between 2007 and 2013. He remains the franchise’s all-time leader in tackles by a safety with 912. Griffin also had 25 interceptions, seven sacks, 11 forced fumbles and six fumble recovers with his best season in 2008 with seven interceptions.Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk thanked Griffin for his nine seasons with the Titans and wished him the best in retirement.”He was such a dependable player for us during his time here, missing only three games over nine seasons, and he was always among our leading tacklers,” Strunk said in a statement. ”His play earned him two Pro Bowl selections and the respect of his teammates. Michael also was invested in our community, finding ways to make a difference.”The Titans released Griffin in February 2016 when he was tied with Corey Graham of Buffalo for the most games played by a safety in the NFL between 2007 and 2015. Griffin signed with Minnesota but didn’t play a game. He then signed with Carolina and started six of 13 games with the Panthers in 2016. He finished his career starting 134 of 154 games played in 10 seasons.Griffin spent the 2017 season working out in case a team called and finished his degree at Texas. He said even when he was with the Vikings and Panthers he always felt he remained a Tennessee Titan.”I was always cheering my guys on Jarius Wright Jersey , always texting them if someone went down, ask how they were doing, keep their heads up, if someone was released whatever it may be,” Griffin said. ”I always stayed in contact with those guys.”Titans linebackers Brian Orakpo and Wesley Woodyard and defensive linemen Jurrell Casey and DaQuan Jones were on hand for Griffin’s announcement.— Brad, Brian, and Jon once again are forced to talk about a Carolina Panthers loss. This time it was to the Cleveland Browns. That makes five losses in a row https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Da_Norris-Searcy-Jersey , and things aren’t looking great. We talk about who stood out in the loss, both in positive and negative lights. We also talk about the Panthers continued red zone struggles and how the Browns showed off what creativity can do in tight quarters. We also discuss the upcoming divisional showdown with the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are good. The Panthers are bad. This has the potential to get ugly. But this is the Panthers, so of course it also has the potential to go exactly how no one expects it. We talk about what the Panthers need to do to win and if we think it will happen. The show wraps up with a discussion about a question I heard on Garcia and Bailey last week - “do we as a market go too easy on Cam Newton?”Download and subscribe from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever else you like to get your podcasts.
