Cornelius Griffin

Mike Humphreys spent 12 seasons as an assistant football coach, several of them as the defensive coordinator, at Pearl River Community College.            In all that time, he never had a defensive tackle as talented as Cornelius Griffin, who was an All-State player at PRCC.                                                  "He came in here standing about 6-foot-4, weighing about 260 pounds," recalls Humphreys. "You could see he was a player; great work ethic, did everything you asked of him, yes sir, no sir, kind of guy. He was the best defensive tackle I ever coached."                                                                     At Alabama, he started 23 of 25 games and was named to the All-Southeastern Conference first team.
