Back in the 1970’s, Archie Griffin was one of the best running backs in college football. This would then lead him to receiving a contract from the Cincinnati Bengals where he played from 1976 to 1982. Unlike his days in college, Griffin wasn’t really that impressive in the NFL, scoring only seven touchdowns in seven seasons. Then in 1982 he filed for bankruptcy due to his failing shoe business.
