With consecutive picks in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft, the Jets took Baylor running back Terrance Ganaway and Baylor guard Robert T. Griffin.
Gang Green stuck with that order.
Tuesday, a day after New York signed Ganaway to a four-year deal, the Jets inked Griffin to a four-year contract of his own.
"I think the Jets liked my quickness, my size, my attitude, the way I hustled around, the way I helped out my teammates," Griffin told NewYorkJets.com after the draft. "What I want to bring to this team is help them get better. This team is already good. I want to add to it."
Griffin is a project for new Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano. At 6-foot-6 and in the 330-340 pound range, Griffin was efficient in pass protection but struggled to pull and block in space due to what many scouting reports refer to as a "lack of athleticism."
