Griffin was a dual-threat nightmare for opposing Big 12 defenses during his Heisman-winning season. He threw for 4,293 yards and rushed for 699, with 47 total touchdowns. He led the Bears to their second 10-win season in program history.
The Redskins took Griffin with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, trading four draft picks to move up from the No. 6 slot. He initially lived up to the hype, passing for 3,200 yards and 20 touchdowns during his rookie season and leading Washington to the playoffs. He suffered a serious knee injury in the playoffs, requiring reconstructive offseason knee surgery, and his career hasn't been the same since. His quarterback rating fell from 75.6 during his rookie year to 42.2 the following year, and he was much less effective as a runner. An injury-plagued 2014 was mostly a lost season, and he has yet to play in 2015. Coaching dysfunction has not helped matters, but his swift fall from grace earns him a spot among the 10 worst Heisman busts.
