Griffith, who has already graduated, made 23 of his final 28 field goal attempts as a redshirt junior last season after starting the year 0 of 4, including 17 of his final 20.

He made a 55-yard field goal during the Tide's win over LSU. He also ranked 26th nationally in kickoff touchback percentage and had a successful onside kick during the fourth quarter of Alabama's win over Clemson in the national championship game....

Glad he's staying.  Now we can needle the doubters even more!  :lol2: :lol2:

Glad to see he is returning.  (And hope he improves further.) 

I don't think he would be drafted this year.

Prolly not.
Haven't heard an update on Griff's stress fracture since he missed those first 4 tries in September!

I think the NFL averages drafting 2 kickers a year, in the late rounds.

He did what all of the juniors should do, check the market and if their value isn't there, back to school as you've got another year to better your market.

Good for Adam. A great season next year will raise his draft stock dramatically.
