The Facts:
New HC Jay Gruden has already seen enough to say he has something special in Griffin. Asked on Monday whether Griffin’s off-field activities like
unveiling a much-hyped personal logo distract from the task at hand, Gruden said there are no concerns at all about how hard Griffin works. “He works out more than anybody I’ve ever seen,” Gruden said on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The coach went on to say, “If I ever felt like that was an issue, or if he was spending more time trying to create logos than he was working out and getting himself ready to play, then there’d be an issue. But there’s no issue in my mind. ... As far as dedication and his desire to win and his work ethic, that is not to be questioned. He’s unlike anybody I’ve ever seen as far as that’s concerned.” Gruden also said Griffin will continue running the ball, and that although there are concerns about injuries, he can’t be so concerned about Griffin getting hurt that he takes away what makes Griffin special. “I think when you have the ability that he has, I think we’d be foolish not to have some kind of option as far as running the football with him,” Gruden said. And even assuming some of what the coach says about Griffin's work ethic is hyperbole, fantasy football owners shouldn't lack confidence in his conditioning and preparation.
