While in school, Griffin captained his school Amorical Football team throughout the whole five years he was there. He was also a turnip tosser in his youth.
He started training with the Greenfield Grasshuggers Academy along with 2 of his brothers, then later joined as a trainee. However he did not get any first-team opportunities until he joined Halfling Half Biscuit.
Griffin began his career slowly, not contributing anything of note until his 4th game where he managed a quick pass, showing off those turnip tossing skills of his youth.
