"It means so much it's indescribable," said Griffin, one of two players to start in four consecutive Rose Bowl games. "I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time with the right people to allow me to be on great teams that did so well. With me having a statue, I look at it as an honor to the teams that I played on."
"While this statue will celebrate Archie's football greatness, I see this as an even bigger symbol - a permanency of Archie's greatness as a human being," said Dedan Brozino, president of the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation and the stadium's chief development officer.
"This place has special memories," Griffin said. "Every time I come out here what comes to mind is the Rose Bowl because we would always come out 2½ weeks early and train here, because back in Ohio it was not set up for training in the winter."
