#96 Cornelius Griffin - After 4 inconsistent seasons with the NY Giants, Griffin has taken his game to another level and solidified the Redskins defensive line. In 2004 Griffin set career high marks with 70 tackles and 6 sacks.
In 2005 Griffin battled through injuries but was still a key performer with 35 tackles and 4 sacks. When he missed 3 games and most of the first Giants game, the Redskins defense as a whole struggled and it's not surprising the team went 1-3 during his time out of the lineup.
Griffin is a talented all-around defensive tackle with enough power to take on multiple blockers and the quickness to bring pressure up the middle. One could argue he's the most critical piece of the puzzle to Gregg Williams' defense.
Final Stats:
