Speed and compete level define Griffins game, both in the indoor game as well as his LSM reps. His box background as a transition player make pushing the pace a great asset to his field game.

Griffin is an athletic, explosive LSM. Great off the ground & can be a transition threat when the ball is in his stick. His box lacrosse background also makes him easily utilized as a SSDM if needed. His speed allows him to quickly catch midfielders and stop breaks.
