'Noteworthy’ Ryan Griffin is the NFL’s best preseason quarterback

TAMPA — He’s the Bucs’ third-string quarterback.

Again.

Still No. 4 in your program. Zero in your heart and career games played during the regular season.

Ryan Griffin, or RGIV, is having the best August of any passer in the National Football League.

Again.

He leads the NFL in passing yards (531) and is tied for sixth in passer rating (99.2) and yards per attempt (8.3).

In the Bucs’ 16-14 win over Miami Friday, Griffin led a drive in 28 seconds to set up Matt Gay’s game-winning 48-yard field goal. It was the third time he closed out a half with points this preseason.
