Londonderry High School graduate Ryan Griffin is turning heads at Houston Texans training camp, according to a report on CBS Houston.
The report says Griffin is still listed as the third string tight end, but has been impressive in camp as second string tight end Garrett Graham was unable to practice due to illness.

Griffin, who played tight end for the University of Connecticut, was chosen with the 201st pick in this year's National Football League draft.
