Griffin was a full-time starting corner for Seattle up until the 2020 season. After a couple of years with the Jacksonville Jaguars and brief stints with the Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers, Griffin spent the 2024 season alongside Sam Darnold with the Minnesota Vikings. It was Griffin\u2019s best year since leaving Seattle, yet he was unsigned until July. He\u2019s back with the Seahawks on a one-year deal and he\u2019s back with the team following an absence for personal reasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Griffin spoke with media members following Sunday\u2019s training camp practice, revealing what\u2019s changed for him since he last was with the Seahawks. For starters, he\u2019s now a father of three, including a three-month-old son.
