The West Coast offense, with its emphasis on timing routes, short to intermediate passes, and utilizing tight ends as integral parts of the passing game, would be an excellent fit for Griffin.
Immediate contributor as a reliable, sure-handed pass-catching tight end with the ceiling to develop into a consistent starter.
A run-heavy, gap/power scheme that demands exceptional blocking from its tight ends on every down would significantly diminish his impact.
Griffin's receiving prowess and route-running ability make him a valuable asset in pass-centric schemes, despite his limitations as a blocker.
