About Griffin Updated Jul 31, 2026

M.J. Griffin is a rangy, tackle-heavy safety who brings proven production and veteran stability to Louisville

In the 2024 season, Griffin started all 13 games at safety for Louisville and finished third on the team with 63 tackles, adding 2 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks; in 2022, he also produced 45 tackles and 2 interceptions, showing playmaking upside when healthy.[5][1] His biggest differentiators are experience, reliability, and a physical style that shows up against both the run and in coverage, but his 2023 season was wiped out by a knee injury, so durability is part of the evaluation.[5][15] If you want a DB who can handle a full workload and erase mistakes with steady, assignment-sound play, Griffin fits.
