Arizona football: Trey Griffey using size to impress NFL scouts at East-West Shrine Game

Trey Griffey working to hear his name on draft night

NCAA Football: Arizona at UCLA Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

After being drafted in the 2016 MLB Draft, Trey Griffey will be listening to hear his name called in the 2017 NFL Draft. The former Arizona Wildcats wide receiver has been in Florida since the season ended in preparation for the draft, and like Paul Magloire, his stock has been steadily rising.

This week at practice, Griffey has been impressing the NFL scouts and talent evaluators with his size and adjustments. He has been projected to go undrafted for quite some time, but with this performance, he has stolen the spotlight, no longer being referred to as merely the son of Ken Griffey Jr.

Here is what the media had to say about the former Arizona wide receiver.

I felt like Griffey was always underutilized and under-appreciated in the offense, serving as one of the more dependable receivers who just couldn’t get extra looks behind Austin Hill, Cayleb Jones, and David Richards. Griffey had 79 career catches for 1,241 yards and six touchdowns. He was a 2016 Pac-12 All-Conference Honorable Mention.

The East-West Shrine Game will be played on Sunday, January 27 at 3pm EST on NFL Network, and Arizona’s Pro Day will be later this spring.
