Archie Griffin – Failed Shoe Business
Ohio State
Archie Griffin was one of the best, if not the best, running backs in college football while playing for Ohio State in the 1970s. Unsurprisingly, this would lead him to receive a multi-year contract from the Cincinnati Bengals. While it looked like he had a promising career in the NFL, it wasn’t as successful as everyone expected, including him.
Unlike his golden days in college, Griffin wasn’t really impressive in the NFL and did not play very often. In fact, he only scored seven touchdowns in seven seasons. Then in 1982, Griffin ended up completely broke, filing for bankruptcy due to his failing shoe business.
