Baylor’s Robert Griffen is the most athletic quarterback in the history of college football and one of the game’s rising stars. Check out his Q&A with Bruce Feldman here.
I’m really curious to see how he progresses in Year 2 of Art Briles’ offense. Should be outstanding.

“Baylor’s Robert Griffen is the most athletic quarterback in the history of college football…”. Now HP, you know that you wouldn’t let anyone else get away with that kind of comment. Please provide the facts that back up this statement.

Sure thing, Andy, though I did back this up last fall.
I base this supposition mainly on the fact that Griffen is a world class 400m hurdler. He finished third at the NCAAs last year with a time of 49.46 as just a first year freshman who had missed much of the year because of spring football. To make this time with such little practice is remarkable.
A little background: The 400m hurdles is perhaps the most difficult race in track. Not only must you have coordination, athleticism, speed, strength, timing and endurance, but you must have mental toughness.
To run a 49 second 400m hurdles, that would equate to a 10.3 in the 100m and a mid-45-second 400m. This is just not something that is common for QBs.
You can go back in the annals of quarterbacks and find a lot of great athletes. But you won’t find one with the quantifiable athletic credentials of Griffen.

Granted I’ll agree with you that the 400 meter hurdles is undoubtedly the toughest race in track & field… “To run a 49 second 400m hurdles, that would equate to a 10.3 in the 100m and a mid-45-second 400m.” how the hell did you come up with the translation to the 100m/400m? I really don’t think that’s realistic at all. According to his Baylor bio his 400m PR was closer to low 47s/high 46s for the 400m nothing regarding a 100m but I doubt he could really run a sub 10.5.
