Jaylen Griffin brings disruptive edge pressure and proven backfield production to Virginia Tech
Jaylen Griffin is a productive, high-motor defensive lineman who showed real disruption for Virginia Tech in the **2022 season**, when he played in 10 games with nine starts and posted 26 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks. That backfield impact is the key differentiator: he creates negative plays, not just steady tackling. For a team, he looks like a fit if you want a defender who can penetrate, sustain intensity, and add pressure from the front seven.
