Top 5 Offensive Players from 2011: Number 2

At number two on the top five offensive players from 2011 countdown, we stay at the wide receiver position and take a look at the top target for Daniels last year, Sterling Griffin.  

Griffin returned from ankle injuries the year before, becoming the primary passing target for Daniel.  He suffered another ankle injury during the season, but returned and led the team in receiving even after missing a few games. 

Griffin led the team with 43 receptions for 530 yards (12.3 yards per catch) and had 3 touchdown receptions on the year.  Griffin proved to be a sure handed target that could match up with any corner, either catching short routes and turning it up field or going for deep bomb passes (shows his skill in the picture above). 

Griffin is healthy this spring and ready for even bigger numbers this season.  If he had stayed healthy through the season, he may have been number one on our list, but 2nd place isn't bad for missing several games.  Think he deserves to be at this spot?  Who will be number one now!
